INfo on R9

As I can see on your serial number it's probably a 95 model, you're right. But it could be also a 2005. To be sure, tell me if the cap over the truss road touch the nut or not. If yes, it's a 95 (old specification of R9) if not it's a 2005 (new specification and more accurate since most of the original model were like that but sometimes the cap touched the nut all the same).

Either post your serial number in the Custom Shop area of these forums http://forums.gibson.com/Default.aspx?g=topics&f=66 or call Gibson at 1-800-4-GIBSON It could be either a 95 or 05, but you better know what finish you have, because if there was one issued from each year that might be the only difference. Assuming the guitar is 100% original, open the control cavity and look at the capacitors (caps). They are soldered between the volume and tone pots. If they are little tan discs then it is a 95. If they are tube shaped, and black with coloured bands it is an 05.
