ant7629 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Just picked this Cherry Sunburst Traditional up from the store and she's a real beauty. Just put some new strings on because the ones that it came with were awful. Also some pics of my other Traditional in Honeyburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luap Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Very nice!! I really love Trads, they're just too heavy for me. (That's why I have a Chambered Standard) But man, I love those flame-tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Very nice! Are they both 2009? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant7629 Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Thanks!! They are quite heavy, but I kinda like that. I did try a 57 Goldtop Historic, and that was nice, very nice. Are Nine, I can see what you mean about the reissues. The neck was too thick for me though, and not 100% sold on the aged hardware. Both 2009's. I can't enough of these Traditionals!

G McBride Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Nice Guitars. I have an Agile that looks like your Honeyburst. Found it at a yardsale one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Yeah, I know what you mean. R7s have true tree trunks for necks but some are a bit slimmer than others. Try an R8 next time, a bit thinner but still fairly fat. The R0 has an even slimmer neck - the only thing with those is you're now into flame top territory and the price goes through the roof - and I guess G0s (Guitar Center exclusive, 1960 plain top reissue) are hard to come by in the UK.

bubba_leon Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Are you still gonna get the traditional pro? I saw one over the weekend with a flame top in heritage cherry. Apparently it's a one of a kind, since they're supposed to be plain top. Played really sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolera Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 That's beautiful. Nothing like a brand new LP. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] I would have liked to have got one of those Leon but it proved really difficult getting one over here. I have been on many waiting lists and they all reach a dead end. One store has an ebony finish, but is was wanting a burst finish. My girlfriend and I are planning a trip across the pond in December so I might treat myself to an early Christmas present if I see one in New York. Never say never!

Difficult to put into words, but there's definitely something going on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
