That's fellow forum member Nickvig's R9; and it is truly badass. I remember when he got it.
The best top I saw in the 03 Brazilians. I won't be suprised if someone doesn't push the button on that one real soon.

i do not have access to ebay at work, what is the BIN value?

 

[marklp69]

$4,999.00

I for one think the Brazilian craze is just goofy, but THAT guitar is a killer looking axe! I like everything about it. The color & figure are out of this world.

 

[Aular]

GOD......! That top..but specially that color is just amazing I wished I had extra cash hidden somewhere, I wouldn't mind pushing that button..

Ya know, you can almost tell which eBay sellers are LPF members by the photos.
What I mean is look at the setup, stoptail down, top wrap, pole pieces adjusted v pattern individual height adjustment, etc...

 

[bigolcasino]

The color & figure are out of this world.

Yep, the color is what gets me too, did you notice its a darkburst on the top, but a teaburst on the bottom?
Robert, will you loan me some money? :lol2

Gorgeous ax,and he zig zaged the pole pieces too.Just answer me one thing.
How can anyone sell an ax like that? I couldn't part with it.

 

[stompbox]

why not sell it with the lifton case, that boggles my mind.

 

[Doug H]

That top is the bizzomb! Like most '03 BRs, the fretboard looks like Van Gogh's Starry Night, but the top.... the top....

 

[NickVig]

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words. I'm having a tough time getting rid of this guitar, those of you that know me know what the deal is.

I top-wrapped the guitar for the Duane/Billy G. mojo/vibe and usually adjust the pole pieces like that because a good friend of mine suggested it would work well.

Stompbox:

The lifton case isn't included because I don't have it. Simple as that. I wouldn't feel comfortable shipping the guitar to someone in that case, actually. I'm surprised Gibson is still using them, myself.

Doug:

That's about the straightest grain brazillian I've ever seen. I'm not sure what guitars you've checked out in person, but I looked through 50-60 at the '03-'04 Dallas/Arlington shows and quite a few at the local GC's during this run. I think it's one of the better examples, myself, YMMV.

That's a great looking axe, Nick... :dude

 

[davebc]

Don't do it Nick.You'll be sorry,,,,

 

[marklp69]

That is such a fine looking axe. I've been looking around for an R9 for a while and if I had $1.5K more to spend for brazilian that BIN button would have been clicked very quickly. It's surprising to see that it's still there with no bids yet.

 

[Red Baron]

I can honestly say that's one of the best looking axes I've ever seen

 

[goldtop0]

That's one good lookin' gat and like my 03 R0 with the FTB finish.Like the alligator case also.

 

[Crusher]

Awesome guitar. Wish I could afford something like that.
