NGD - Finally, 2021 R9

[Willsy182]

Hi all, have been sorta thinking about consolidating my collection a little and started looking towards the Custom shop. I went to a local store to have a look at a dark burst R0 they had, only to be told it had sold, but here, have a look at this. A 2021 R9 in what I think is dirty lemon, I’m waiting on Gibson to confirm this for me. As soon as I played it, it was one of those ‘I must have this’ moments. Made some arrangements, and finally, it’s here. Lighter than my Traditional, which is a ripping guitar itself, so I’ll have some fun flicking between my gear.

Nice! Enjoy it. Either dirty lemon or sometimes they call it "Green lemon"

Gibson confirmed it’s a Dirty Lemon VOS. And a sensational one at that haha.

This is awesome, loving the fiddle-back figure to that top.

This right here is what I think would cause me to sell off the herd !

Absolutely stunning!

Reminds me of Greeny except the stripes on the top half are at the opposite end.

Apparently the previous owner had some type of Greeny pickups in it before the Custombuckers went back in, so that was obviously the aim, it def has the vibes no doubt.

I had for sale ads up before I left the shop for some of my other gear haha. I lost my 335 for this, but the positive is I get to go guitar shopping later on for another 335!
