Tim Plains Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Same guitar, essentially. Please don't ask which is better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaresz Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I agree with Lynyrd. You should try to play them yourself and make your own determination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarGod319 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 like everyone else said.go to a store and play one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Maybe there should be a standard, forum-approved answer for this one. Maybe the R9? Then when someone asks again this weekend which one to buy we can all just say "R9". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRU Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 '58 (or '57's)...all day long. Every bit as good as the others. No flame = 1/2 the price! '59's and '60's are for the guy that needs to say "and this one costs $5800!!!". Save the bucks or buy two '58's or three USA Standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 RRU, I agree with you for the most part. I have an R9, bought it because it was...and still is...the best guitar I've played. I wasn't in the market for a R9, but it just so happened that the best guitar I found was a R9. No other R7, R8 or R9 comes close. I mean that...and trust me, I've looked and looked for a better reissue and haven't been able to find one to this day. Not all guys needs to say "and this one costs $5800!!!" I bought my R9 because it is by far, the best instrument I have ever played. Words can't describe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 That new avatar is freakin' me out! Mid 4k range, plus tax. Damn good price on a 59! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Deadhead Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Like the new avatar TG. When I bought my studio, I played every LP in the store and it played and sounded better than all the rest. Sometimes model and price dont mean squat. I ran into the same thing with my Ibanex. I wanted a semi hollow body and it outplayed and sounded better than the $2 - 3000 335's and Gretsch's that were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaresz Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Thundergod that new avatar is freakin' me out! I agree, but not as much as AXE's. I have found his new one much more disturbing! Because of both of you I'm going to start having nightmares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say "placebo effect". Granted there are quite a few basic differences in the stratifications of models, but very little in the VOS series. USA Standard have lumber quality wood, these days...better for a table than a fine instrument. The only differences I find the '57-'58-'59-'60 VOS's is some flamed wood and the neck profile. Ashetics....but if you think it sounds better, than it probably does. Try a little test. Turn around backwards and don't peek. Have your buddy play a few rifs with one of each. If you can tell the difference, I'll pay for your lunch! Maybe I'll put something on YouTube for a comparison. I'll have to borrow a '59 and a '60 though...I only have '57's & '58's .

[/quote'] Sorry to disagree RRU. My son and I were in GC in the Gibson room, I was on a Standard, and he was on an R7 (the one I eventually purchased). We were seated across from each other, playing through a Marshall 50 watt head and 412 cab's. There was a very noticeable difference between the two. Enough so, that we swapped cords, then eventually guitars. I would not say either sounded better or worse, but definitely different. Needless to say, he didn't get the Goldtop back. Sorry son, I love ya, but this one is mine!!! Hehehe :D :D Mmmm shiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
