kingbeeinflorida Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hi All, I'm trying to figure out what is the significance to the 59 (R9) VOS & ReIssue is. Why does it cost so much more than lets say a 57, 54 or 56? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 The R9 has a fancy flame-maple top, ABR-1 bridge with stop-bar tail piece (whereas the '54 just has the McCarty bridge) and PAF-style pups. Probably lighter mahogany used for the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 '57s & '58s also have the ABR-1. It's really the flame top. '59 & '60 cost the most. kingbee, they're all the same guitar with minor differences. Such as finish, neck thickness, top & weight of each individual guitar. '52 - '56 have P-90s, '57 - '60 have humbuckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
