Hi there again,

This R9 came up as an option since a friend of mine would get it to me. Worth the $? Anyone knows the seller ? Looks genuine?

Thanks for replying.

Very nice looking & definitely genuine don't know the seller but seems legit enough.

Here's a recently closed auction for an '07 also 'Mint' for a few hundred less.

I'm sure if you kept looking you could do better but I do know how when you find THAT ONE well, it's like a freight train. There's no stopping it!

Best of luck to you!

Mike60, I saw that one too and was very tempted to go for it.
Damn G.A.S. When is 2009 going to get here?

I'm happy with what reissues I have.the '08 R9 is turning out to be a beaut,all it needed was some good pickups.

 

[zoso777]

Thanks Mike ! Really awesome axe but don´t you think that the bolder look is due to the excess of red of the pics ?

 

[Tim Plains]

You're right, she is a beaut!

 

[Mike60]

It's possible,but,I don't think so.the flame is pretty strong on every angle shot of it.

the one you posted appears to have a softer flame to it which is not showing strong on all the pics.


BTW prymeaxes' is an '06

 

[zoso777]

I agree with you.

BTW, do you think these guitars need better pickups? Could you explain why did you need better ones? Sorry man, It´s my first reissue I may get and I need to know everything.

depends on the guitar.I've had two that were excellent sounding stock and felt there was no need to change a thing.

 

[zoso777]

Ok, I understand. Just could not imagine such an expensive guitar would need this kind of replacement. Good to know. Thanks!

 

[zoso777]

Well, I got the first one ! Fingers crossed! Thank you all for your replies!
