ALL PARTS (but knobs are real deal 1960's) are from 2011 R9, Gibson Bumble Bee's etc...

9 lbs 8 OZ

Lifton Reissue Case ( made in Canada Good one!)

Guitar is much more correct looking than Gibson Stock R9 Les Paul, and YES Id rather have this than a NEW R9

This was Done by a Pro Guitar Shop, Well Know. The BEST. Go show me a REAL Brazilian Rosewood Fretboard out there? There isn't any, and if you got the early 2000's Gibson made, you pay $8500+ This has Real Vintage Inlay, and the finish is Better Looking than Gibson in MY Opinion. It has that washed out 60 year old real Burst look and Vibe going on brother!

And it has All the parts that come on the 2012-13 Light Weight R9 that cost $5895 street price new.. The parts came from a buyer who put all real burst parts on a new R9 as this was his thing. This is a 1 master builder build here. Not a 15 person assembly line touch project. Price is FIRM.. this is the One You Keep forever.. that simply put.

You ever play one of those lets say 8k Collins or 12k high end Boutique guitars in person? If you have, you will be blown away in the Tone,Quality,Feel of them. Why? Hand made not assembly line made and attention to all is evident in the final outcome:Final:

Look at last picture (very bottom of pictures) Look at the Real Brazilian Fretboard and Real Inlay on neck, compared to the 2012 R9 that is $6,000 new from Gibson.. Your caught on..:)
