Heard an '02 R9 today, WOW !

had a chance to listen to an '02 R9 today, with the zebra burstbuckers #2 & #3 (I think). 8 lbs even. What a spectacular axe. Surprisingly beefy tone for a featherweight. I know not a lot were made that year, they were basically the same as the '03 R9s sans braz, and they had NOS CTS pots audio taper, and the yellow cylinder caps.

I was wondering how many forum bros have '02 R9s and would you please post pictures of them?

thanks in advance,

Dan
