Congrats
Also nice refreshing thread different than all the others trolling

 

[Airhead]

Wow, very nice guitar. Maybe one day I will own such a beauty.

Congrats! Great looking guitar - lemons are my favorite bursts (any of the lemon variants) - my only current R9 is a 2018 “honey lemon fade” and I love it so much - welcome to the lemon family!

Really nice, congrats!

 

[Tinpan]

Needless to say - I just fell in love.

Took delivery today (finally) of this Historic. I had to work from my home office after picking it up, so aside from sneaking glances during Zoom calls at it hanging on the wall, I haven't had much chance to really check it out. I just snapped a few quick pics to throw up this NGD thread at the request of a fellow forum friend. More to follow.

It's a 2021 R9, M2M in green lemon (edit: made for @Top Gun) and purchased by me from Arturo Lavalle, The Guitar Dude. Hand picked top. Arturo said this was his personal LP until it was recently bumped by (I believe) a Braz Anniversary model.

This is my second '21 R9, and I think they're killer. I love the dark back and the unpotted CBs sound awesome. This one also has a real, uncirculated Burst serial number than ends in 59! Overall, a super cool Historic. For anyone who hasn't done business with Arturo, he's a wonderful guy who's genuinely passionate about these guitars. Check out this Jimmy Page quote he hand wrote on the top of the shipping box. How freakin' cool is that?

I'm totally psyched! Like I said, more to come...

WOW...if you don't keep the whole box, at least cut the note out and store it in a plastic file cover...that's...exquisite...

 

[dasherf17]

That is a classic lookin burst!-and to take the time to write down a Jimmy sayng bonus!

That be the key...

 

[Kossfinger]

That is an absolutely spectacular guitar! Made even more interesting because of the unusual figuring on the top it's a keeper

Unless I missed something...is there a reason why Page wrote that on the shipping box?

Page didn't write it. It's a Page quote, written by the dealer from whom I bought the guitar.

 

[Duane_the_tub]

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. It's a stellar guitar and I'm very fortunate to own it. Tone report coming; stay tuned!

 

[blueandgold]

"Chapeau" as we say in France ...
These "top lemon flames" are of endless beauty and variety
