“Tribute to production line model”
”modern feel of the les Paul Standard with a modern neck shape but with custom shop build quality”.
Its a 9 serial, mabye as the top is flamed. But it’s an odd description.
Never played it, could be wrong.
Its just the description seems strange.
Still, don’t think I’ve ever seen a historic described as “modern neck shape” before!
As for the neck description, ignore that as it seems most retailers have described them wrong!
If anyone is tempted though, it's a great time to buy at prices we're unlikely to see again.
And for flippers (who are a little bit patient, the market will need to correct itself over time) R9s tend to hold that £1k extra in resale.
Which is bloody crazy really, but if I sold the recently acquired Les Paul BFG and Schecter then surely not that crazy........
With my two, the only differences are the top, a slight weight difference, the pickup DC resistances and a slightly different tone. Neck profiles are the same, feel is the same etc etc. Pickups and weights will vary across R8s too of course, so you really are only paying for the top. I'm happy with the cost/looks ratio on mine, but a lot of the R9s don't look that special to me.
