Me too! I got mine the day after I got my sweet 07 R9 this week! I've had a great week. Got an amazing guitar and a very cool book!

diceman · 02-02-2008, 12:27 AM

My copy of BOTB just showed up today. Lovin' it! I can't wait til I get myself an R8 or R9 - in the mean time, I can drool over some great pictures!

Here are Historic inlays on a Brazilian 03 R9 ..

Here are vinatge inlays from a 1960 LP ..

The historic inlays are much more swirly , While the vintage are a more blocklike pattern ! Vintage inlays kinda look like an old smokers fingernails !

decoy205 · 02-06-2008, 07:37 PM

Haha smokers fingernails. lol So its the coloration and the swirl patterns. I see. It's not the size or shape right? Because that looks the same to me.

Not an expert but , The sizes are very close but not exact and the shape is a bit different too

Originals are made of Celluloid and the newer ones are made of acrylic and the shapes are different as well.

My original copy, the pages are loose, my only complaint. Yes the printing quality could be better, but it is an awesome and informative book.

twinrider1 · 03-16-2008, 09:03 PM

It is a must have. I'd love to get the hardcover just to compare the photo quality (but I'm not spending $1500 on a book!)

The Robb Lawrence book has been released...really! Mine is shipping soon (damn my cheap butt for going with slow-boat free shipping).
The word is that it is OUTSTANDING; right up there with BOTB. I can't wait!

decoy205 · 03-17-2008, 11:32 AM

I finally got my copy a few weeks ago and I couldn't stop the drooling. I will say this something is a bit off with the color in that book. Many of those guitars seem more orange then they actually are.

Awesome though must have for any LP lover.

The last time I saw the James Gang live was in December of 1969.

When I saw Barnstorm at Kent State and at Blossom in the summer of 1973, he was still using the gold top. I'll find the pictures I took at KSU and edit this post later.

Available light photography from the days when a camera was still ok at a concert.

My favorites are:

1. 9 0913
2. 9 0663
3. 8 5489
4. 9 1884
5. 9 0925

Those are some unique looking bursts - I love 'em!

Which one is on the cover?

Es Paul · 03-26-2008, 03:47 AM

I just bought this book through amazon. I got it last night and i can't stop daydreaming about playing or even being in the same room with these guitars. It was so interesting to learn about the differences between the years and what actually created and caused them. The wood for the top had to be bought from smaller private lumber yards to the shortage of black PAFS made them use cream colored. The winding of the PAFs were all different. I can't get enough of it. The history is so rich. I think i'm going to buy another copy just to have that feeling all over again.

Harpozep · 03-26-2008, 07:04 AM

Bursts are cool, but I'll always be partial to Black beauty Customs. That said, my current R9 burst rules!
But I really wanted an R8 BB, got a good deal on the R9, and lowered myself to a mere 'Standard" LP.

ALl is good.
The only thing I don't get is why so many people want to force fade their Bursts?

I guess forced retro is cool, but natural retro is cooler.

Es Paul · 03-26-2008, 02:32 PM

I agree with the natural retro part. I was going to get a VOS but i think they cheaped out on the fifnish. I'm getting a gloss top instead. Do all of the wearing in myself.
