Hi, I'm new here.
Here are a few pictures of my Les Pauls.
I bought both guitars from a famous guitarist in Spain who left the business.
The first one I bought was a 2000 Elegant in mint condition for a really good price:





A couple of months later, I bought his 2000 R9. Awesome top and killer sound!!



And now I have two great guitars but no money on the pocket, lol.

Welcome.

Very nice. Classic late 90's early 00's straight flame top there on the R9.

Very nice, and welcome to the forum!

Your Elegant is almost an identical twin to mine, less the pickguard. Same color, top, and year :salude

2000 Historic LPs can be pretty sweet:

Thank you all!

Yes, 2000 R9 have a very nice, straight and clear maple top.
Last night I played with the R9 and the sound engineer was amazed with the sustain and tone of this guitar.

It's definitely going to be my main guitar this summer. ;)
