Members paul44 Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 Only two things wrong with that, the knobs and the fact that it isn't mine! LOL Nah,reflectors (the proper mirror finished ones) are dead cool. Have you popped the pups out yet? There might be a finish code in one of the cavities...IT=Iced Tea etc. It's a beautiful thing,enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yell03 Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 HNGD!!! Beautiful guitar and that 60s neck is just so nice to play, very comfortable. You will love the combination of comfort, balance, tone, and quality the R0 has. I was lucky enough to grab a New 2008 G0 (plaintop version of the R0) before the price increase. Sweet guitar, an R0 is high on my list of things I want to buy soon. I think you'll get spoiled and never like anything but Custom Shop guitars from Gibson after this, there is such a huge difference in them and the regular USA production line. As an owner of 3 Custom Shop Gibsons (previously had 5) and 1 USA Gibson, yes there is a difference, but I wouldn't say " he will Never want a USA" While the Custom Shops are higher quality and generally a much better guitar in my experience, if you find a really good USA there is not that much of a difference. I have played some Les Paul Standards that came very close to Custom Shop quality. Also, please don't buy a Custom Shop Gibson and expect it to play well right out of the box. All mine needed a pro set-up before I would even think of keeping them. In comparison, all 3 of my Fenders (2 now) and my PRS, I returned my Am Std Strat, were set-up well right out of the box. Gibsons, Custom Shop or USA, tend to need set-ups right away. AGAIN, HAPPY NGD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thehikingdude Posted March 24, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 Very nice. Interesting patterns on the RW fingerboard, too! ( . )( . ) Thanks! I know it's not, but it sure looks a LOT like 3 other necks I've owned that are BRW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thehikingdude Posted March 24, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 Beaut! Did the previous owner leave the Custom sticker on the pickguard? Yep, that they did. I may get a blank one so I can leave it on there. Not sure yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thehikingdude Posted March 24, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 Beaut! Did the previous owner leave the Custom sticker on the pickguard? Sticker is now removed. I got to looking at it closer and realized it was just a static cling - not a sticker. Looks MUCH better without it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ExiledCrow Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 Knobs are just fine:poke: I respectfully beg to disagree with both you and paul44, but the main objection remains, namely it's not mine! Though I guess if it were I could fix the other flaw as well! :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanksEdit: Oh and beautiful guitar, HNGD! No worries, I didn't know myself until just a few weeks ago. R0 = Reissue 1960R9 = Reissue 1959 And so on......I'm sure someone might have a link to share with more specifics. And thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
