Pink_Floyd Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Well today I got through my 09 Les Paul '59 reissue finished in VOS Iced Tea. It has a really nice top, not world class, but nice, and better than my last one. It came with all the bits and pieces, in fact I could have had the shipping box if I had wanted it! I only have my iPhone camera to hand so only taken one pic right now. I will follow it up with some better shots later if anyone wants to see.

saturn Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Great guitar. Congratz. With a name like Pink Floyd I'd have thought you'd want a Strat though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepblue Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Very nice! I noticed they dont come with the original Lifton cases anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaresz Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I like goodies! Congrats, she's a beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink_Floyd Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 I do have a Strat but love the Les Pauls, the history and the flame tops. As for the cases the first run of 50ths came out in Lifton cases but they changed it and now no guitars are shipped in them which is a shame.

stevezapp Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Dude, she's a beaut! MORE PICS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Beauty!! More pics please. I'm sure it's hard to say without having them both side by side but how would you say it compares to the one you sent back? What's your serial numbe? Not exactly but rounded to the nearest 50. I'm curious to see how many they've made. I think they're around the 1,200 range. So much for the '09s being rare!! LOL You're right, it is a shame that the Liftons are no more but that black case you have is a much better case. The Lifton offers no protection.

MikeRom Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Wow, that is some bag of goodies ya got with it, and a strap too? Nice. Nice looking ax, congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink_Floyd Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 I think it is a much nicer guitar than my 07. It has a nicer top and plays nicer. R9 - You are not far off in is in the 900's Here are some pics: I think it has a nice top: The fretboard is really dark: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmeds Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 It seems as though it came with a alot of extras. When I got my R8 it didn't even include a strap. Is that something that should have been included? BTW, congratulations. She's a beauty. What will you name her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink_Floyd Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 dmeds - The R8 comes in a black CS case with the COA, Hang tags, Custom Care pack (lead cloth etc) a warranty card and truss rod tool. The only thing that should be different now between a shipped R8 and a R9 is that you get a strap with the R9. Please anyone correct me if I am wrong.

rocketman Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Beautiful looking top! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 That's a real beauty, congrats! Only R9s and R0s come with the strap. Everybody says you pay a premium for the flame top but you're actually paying $2,000 for the strap. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmeds Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Thanks Pink_FLoyd and Are Nine for clarifying that. Now I won't need to take my Zanex for undue anxiety. Ha, ha! R9's with the flame tops are real beauties. I can't seem to convince myself that I don't need one. Maybe I do need the Zanex?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Beautiful top, and the neck inlays are done nice and tight. Sweet. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectboy Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 That's gorgeous, PF Gibson's still on a great roll for beauty. That one may convert you from Fender yet. Plugged it in? How's she feel and sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
