Just got this in yesterday from Sweetwater.
I rarely play my R9, but I wanted a Heritage Cherry Burst LP for a long time. So, on a leap of faith, I had them send this one.
I have to say that I am impressed with the newer Gibson output. My last 5 Les Pauls and ES-335 were all Historic models. This compares very favorably with my R9 guitars.
I am not loving the 61R and 61T pickups. I find they are quite brittle sounding. So, I am in the hunt for a set of Custombuckers to go in this guitar.
For a Les Paul that you can buy new for less than $2400, this is really quite amazing.
