That looks great! Who did the aging?

Cheers Ben, the aging was done by a fine chap in Bath by the name of James Mitchell. I’ll post some more pics and maybe a quick sound clip of the pups driving my Princeton. 

He he also did some work on my old R0, does a cracking job (see what I did there...)

And it looks like they're all gone, including the last one at Peach who dropped the price on their last couple of 2017s to match GuitarGuitar.

2018 R9s seem to be priced at £4999...

All sold in the end then. Pretty quick too! Still loving my dirty lemon R9. It amazes me how the flame top changes do much at different angles and lighting. Some shots below. Anymore R9 porn out there from this batch?

Twinfan

My two 2017 R9s, plus my 2017 R8.  Dirty Lemon for the win 

hyperben

Dirty lemon definitely the best colour!

Absolutely! @hyperben & @Twinfan your R9s are just phenomenal.

Picked up this reduced R9 from Coda Music a few weeks ago. I've been after a really nice Les Paul for a while and this really fits the bill, phenomenal player.

That’s a beautiful R9 @vairish. Was watching that one myself at Coda.

I think that’s the one I tried very hard to see if I could acquire. Very very nice.

Yeah, I wasn't sure with Christmas coming up and various other bills if I'd be able to afford it. Thankfully a work bonus was paid early and I was able to get it
