Or was there some secret 1959 model made with a yet to be released 60s neck? Anybody know wassup with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badguitarist91 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I don't know, but why the hell do you call them R9s and R8s? What is that? .... Sorry for the off the wall question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modoc_333 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 it's the short term for it. if you look at the Gibson model numbers they use that as part of it. the guitars also have it stamped in the control cavity. for example, LPR9VOITNH1 would be a VOS 59 reissue Les Paul in iced tea with nickel hardware. it's much easier to type R9 or R7 than it would be to type out a longer name for it.

saturn Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I'm speculating that maybe it's for someone that love everything about 1959 LPs except the neck profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MReynolds Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I'm speculating that maybe it's for someone that love everything about 1959 LPs except the neck profile. Hmm...then why not buy the R0? Seems like the '60 RI would be the next logical step instead of some bastardized R9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
