I've been working through an enormous pile of guitars that the boss bought in from China - not bad wood-wise, but every single one needs a fret level, the bridge saddle shaved, nut slots filed and a restring. Ouch.
As a company man I agreed to tackle this mammoth task on my own time in return for store credit. They are trying to keep costs down, and hey, I like guitars so I figured something would come up!
And what do you know, yesterday something did...
She is a 2013 R9 in Washed Cherry, VOS. Nice weight (mid 8 pound mark at a guess), cool top (some cool flame and grain, and a few mineral streaks to be found as well), smallish neck shape... but most importantly, she sounds AMAZING. I've heard quite a few Historics over the last few years, but this one... she has a whole lot of special going on.
Now, a few pics. These were done using my phone so not great quality. You get the idea though. Might post some more tomorrow if I get a chance to take some outside!
Enjoy!
