I've owned a few historics before. R4,6 and two r8's. The R6 and one of the R8 didn't agree with me all that much. And the R4 was a keeper but I foolishly traded it away to a forum member and the second r8 was a keeper to but I traded for a Collings CJ35 which is also a keeper.

I was really wanting to buy the R0 listed in the for sale forum but I was a couple hundys short.

But then I came across this R9 on local Craigslist. And just had to have it. I was the second guy in line but thankfully the guy before me couldn't come up with the cash.

So after 11hrs of return trip. I now have a R9 hanging on my wall. a
I'veer owned an R9 until now.

She's definitely a keeper. By far the best LP I've owned. The pickups are very low outpit. And grinds nicely through a Marshall.

I'm a happy man.

Nice score, congrats mang.

Nice one, but I'm most impressed by the quality of your photos. They almost look like virtual images. You took that with your phone ?

Nice team you've got in the last pic. Just missing some P90

Nice top on that one. Congrats

 

[Budda]

Well done.

Now that’s a great looking LP. Congratulations.

I like that you said the word "hundys".

I used to have two p90's! 1960RI LP special and R4. I would love to have those guitars back....

And yes these are all cell phone pictures. Just some good lighting is all you need!

And thanks everyone for the congratulations!

It looks great and is only outdone by the family of four. A beauty hollow body would finish the family nicely IMHO.

yeah, really nice axe!

nice assortment on the wall, too

@WonderfulRemark I also stupidly traded an R4 GT - did yours by any chance come from John R.?

Love the top on your R9, esp. the colour of the burst.

I bought mine from used at L&M Courtenay. And I believe forum member Bangcouver has it.

Congratulations! R9s are great guitars.
