What a fantastic specimen!

 

[alnico59]

To me those years [99-01] were the best

 

[AA00475Bassman]

Wow what a beautiful historic , I've not seen any others on this forum with as much vibe as your guitar !

How do you like your class 5 limited ?

Top Lester - really great Murphy.

They do seem to get more beautiful with age. Love the color change.

Beautiful!!! :salude
Can you talk about the new plastic and those sweet Zebras?
I've had Dbl cremes, Covered, Black and Zebra, but double Zebra's have to be my favorite (IMHO)!
Very nice indeed!

The switch ring is stock original Gibson Historic from 99, PG is Mojoaxe lightly aged, rings are Throbak bone aged rings, jack plate is aged DMC from 15 years ago and the pickups are Bernie Marsden Beast pickups from Crazyparts.

I'm not certain about the switch tip & the knobs ... I think the knobs are vintage I bought from NelsonF.

PressR9: I did reply but a mod must approve it because I added two photos...:##

No worries Chef. I'd like to upgrade my R9 plastic but want to make an informed decision on which products would work best for my R9.
Yours is looking very authentic. :yah
And it's always nice to renew the relationship.

 

[PressR9]

Awesome! - Many thanks Mods:yah
