hoross Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 hi there been long time I haven't been on this forum. I've been enjoying and recording music with my 1958 lp std historic 1958 plaintop vos lemon burst although im thinking of buying a 1959 and selling this one I was wondering if its worth it cause besides the neck I don't know what the difference is ? Many people tell me the 1959 is better,but I can't try cause they are nowhere in stock in my country. So anyone can help me if I should keep the 58 and buy the 59?

pippy Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 There is no constructional difference between a '58 and a '59 apart from the neck thickness. There is often a cosmetic difference between a '58 and a '59 because the majority of R8s are plain-top and the majority of R9s are figured. Nothing else. If you like your R8's neck then don't even think about selling-up and buying an R9. It would be a complete waste of money. Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I think the only sensible thing to do would be to keep the '58 and get a '59, but that's just me. I have little self control when it comes to things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
