Sweeeet Cherry Pie! 2013 R9 with a BIG top

[buckwild]

Just got this 2013 R9 back from Joe Riggio who did a real nice job on refining the top. It used to be a tobacco burst that I wasn't digging, I hate how those go to black on the edges. Now it looks a lot like the Africa burst color IMO. I've bought so many guitars recently I'm not even sure I can afford to keep this one, but I had to share! the Top is sensational. One of those killer tops from early 2013.

Gorgeous Top!!

Gorgeous burst.
If it sounds/feels anywhere near as good as it looks, I would sell everything else.
Can you post pictures of its original finish, please?

Dayum, that is a KILLER top !
It needs some covers for the pickups though in my very humble opinion

The before picture looks pretty good too.

I don't know if I would've risked having such a pretty guitar refinished, but, it turned out great.

Yeah but it can always be re-re finished
