Rabs Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Thanks Rabs.......I'm just gonna ask you these questions directly......lol. NHTom Lol.. yeah its been less busy around here than normal.. you can of course ask me what you like, but there are people who know much more than me on here so is worth posting. If you just do a google image search on Gibson R5, 6 etc you will see what they are.. I think an R6 is a Goldtp for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHTom Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm the type of guy who doesn't like to be "out of the loop". Always enjoy learning new things! NHTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Generally it is referring to a reissue of a model from the 1950s up to 1960. So if you see a Les Paul R9 it's a reissue of the 1959 Les Paul. An R0 would be a 1960. See the pattern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
