FS/FT Gibson R9, Ibanez RGDIM6FM Fan Fret £495

andy1839

Rekindled the desire to sell or trade this.

Based in York but happy to have a drive out to meet.

1990 PRS EG3 

£800 (Traded)

Also up for the chop is a lovely Ibanez RGDIM6FM with semi rigid case (non original, it didn't come with one).

£495

Catchy model name aside, this was part of the Iron Label range aimed towards heavier styles.

Pretty unique in that it's a fully fan fret six string, but is still happy being tuned to standard tuning.

Scale measures

26.7" low E

25.5" high e

Yes, it does indeed, 'djent'.

Flamed maple veneer top, ash middle and mahogany back.

With a three piece maple/purpleheart/maple Wizard Nitro neck.

24 jumbo frets and ebony board with offset dots and luminous side dots.

Mono rail hardtail bridge.

Brilliant Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic active pickups with push pull voice change on the single volume control.

This has been gigged so has a few marks here and there, a small chip out of the headstock tip and a small dent to the body and a neck pocket crack that isn't terrible (I've had the neck off and it's completely solid).

It's a very slick player and is more versatile than it has any right to be given its looks.

The fan frets take no time to get used to. It's a really lively, light guitar and very comfortable to play. 

Gibson Custom Shop R9 2007
£3750 (cheapest R9 available? Perhaps!)

A lovely, lively R9. Light weight and a superb player.
Great flame on it.
It was originally VOS spec, but has picked up some 'natural relicing' through being gigged, which tells you its a decent guitar, so it's in a fair condition.

No neck breaks or anything structural, and frets are all good.

The case has a couple of floppy broken latches, but the rest work fine (including the main clasp). 

Comes with certificate, original knobs and scratchplate

It's currently got Wolfetone Marshallhead pickups in it, but I will be taking those out and replacing the original burstbuckers unless you absolutely had to have them)

(The frets need a polish and will get one before it goes anywhere!)

Trades for the PRS?

Has to be a bargain at £800?

£800 for a 33yo USA-made PRS with beefed up electronics is a steal! GLWTS.

Tough time to be moving things on! Hopefully it’ll pick up soon. Were I in a position to make an offer I’d be all over it, and I’m not crazy about red guitars usually!

Withdrawn.

Back up!

I'm strictly a one Strat guy and have that covered with a superb Strat Ultra, but this very cool

This is a lot of guitar for the money. Craps on a Fender.  

DrBob

Full fat USA PRS for SE money. Man that’s a deal 

therealting

Bargain - if it was a wide fat neck I’d have had it by now!

@therealting ; @DrBob ; @imalrightjack ; @RevMatt ;

Thanks guys, it's a great solid strat-thats-not-a-strat for someone!

It really does sound magnificent, but i need to hide my awful playing behind the mush of gain and humbuckers.

Absolutely.  
Anything considered.  

The guitar is amazing and superb in every way there is nothing wrong with it.

I just haven't traded anything in at least a fortnight so the thrill of the chase needs reigniting!
