    Goldtop Wear

    Wow, that is crazy fast. The screw at the tailpiece, too. It will look like a cool road warrior pretty soon:-)

    Tailpieces

    I changed the Tp on my 2000 R9 for a lightweight one. It changed the sound for a better, more open sound.

    Gloss, VOS, Aged?

    Truss rod nut size on an R9 (2018)?

    Maybe it has to much paint on it? The aftermarket parts say it is 5/16

    ES-Les Paul Florentine

    Well, it plays great. I have to play it more often. Itˋs fun to play it unplugged because it is louder. Pluged into an amp ithe sound has more mids and is more airy, less deep.But it has bite. If that makes sense. Neck shape is like a 60ties neck. It is a bit neck heavy, unusual for a LP.

    ES-Les Paul Florentine

    I have one. I think its a 1999 Custom Shop Custom. Didn't play it in a long time, shame on me. But i put new strings on and will play it more often:-) Pic will follow

    Price check for a 2007 R4 Oxblood

    That sounds like a great deal, compared to the asking prices i see now.

    Price check for a 2007 R4 Oxblood

    Thanks for that reply and number! Anybody else has an observation on those?

    Price check for a 2007 R4 Oxblood

    Sorry, but i have to ask for this one, as there are not many around. Mods, if this is against the rules, please delete. What you guys think is a fair price for a 2007 R4 Oxblood? Guitar is clean, changed Pu, but original Pu is there. Just Vos versions, not the later signed ones. I see ads from...

    Perplexed by RI/custom/VOS - send help

    Welcome. The Sweetwater description above is excellent. VOS should only have a dull finish and hardware. No other aging or playware. An aged guitar can still be mint, if it only has the Murphy or factory dings on it:-)

    R9 Murphy Lab Green Lemon Fade Heavy Aged

    Since you asked for it.... Nice guitar, great top, but i don't like the finish too much. Maybe if the Burst would go all the way around. Tough decision, as you say it plays and sounds good.

    SG or V?

    SG

    Max weight for a R9?

    It has a refret, also. Maybe it really got played a lot and that is natural aging.:unsure: Cool looking guitar!

    Emotional buy?

    If i understand the situation correct. You got some fender guitars and your sister got the beloved Gibson black beauty? Can't you not just do a trade,when they don't play guitar at all? Have the Black Beaty refretted and play it. A refret is a normal thing to do and not a hack to a guitar.
