I am however confused as my understanding is that there were no R8s made in 1999. Everything I've read says that in 1999/2000 all the sunburst historics were classified as 40th Anniversary models of the 1959 original "bursts".
I have a 1999 R9 with a plain top - see earlier in the thread - and I think in any other year this would be classified as an R8. It certainly has a big, chunky R8-style neck which rules it out for the OP.
Your guitar with that top (lovely subtle flame - looks very authentic) would AFAIK be an R9 if it was a 1999 model. It should be stamped as such in the control cavity. Just saying as it is probably worth more as an R9, even if it's just a technicality!
