New R9 (no pics yet)

Recieved my 01 R9 from Garrett Park on Saturday.

Everything I expected, condition: perfect. Tonally, a monster - I wouldn't have believed it, but it's an improvement over the R8.
Light, resonant unplugged, lush and full of harmonics plugged into the Z. Nice top, too

Congrats, man.
Hope there's an R9 in my future...
Post pix when you can. How much does she weigh, btw?

Jato -

8lbs 5ozs - a feather compared to the Goldtop I traded - I'll post some pics later today.
