Gibson Historic 1959 (R9) Gloss Model .Testing the water ! The one on the right ! £4500.

PAL

I am considering selling my Gibson R9 Guitar.
 It's a 2010 model so one of the original Honduran Mahogany guitars with East Coast Maple Top.
 It came with a black Gibson case but this as been changed to a brown Gibson Lifton case.
 I have log book and case candy.
 As you can see I have two Gibson Historic Les Paul Guitars and I do prefer the slightly bigger neck on the R8.
 I can provide more details etc to a serious inquiry .
 I'm based In Greenwich South East London.
 I don't want to ship the guitar due to it's value so am really looking for someone who is willing to try the guitar out as that's
 the only real way to know if this particular Les Paul is for you.

 I'm not looking for any trades just a cash sale.  I don't do PayPal. Bank transfer would be prefered.

 Price £4500. No Offers.

   Hi, Yes it's a great top at the time it was the nearest I could find to the Greeny/Moore Top.

 The pre 2012 guitars were really nice and according to the Les Paul Forum Have a different sound in a positive way !

@fretfinder - there was a thread in the guitar section about people's favourite burst colour. I posted with an example photo of my favourite but yours is EXACTLY the one for me! Nice one man, that's the most beautiful I've seen on this forum!
