Personal Thoughts:
This 2019 60th Anniversary R9 is truly something special. The Lemon Fade is one of Gibson’s most vintage-correct finishes, and this one features a beautifully figured top that wouldn't look out of place on a real '59 Burst. The tone is everything you’d hope for—warm, dynamic, and touch-sensitive with those clear and articulate Custombuckers.
You also get all the premium appointments that came with the 60th Anniversary upgrades—historically accurate plastics, top carve, and neck construction. This is one for the players and collectors alike.
Condition Report:
Excellent condition. One small impression on the side bout (see photos), but otherwise extremely clean with minimal signs of use. The frets are excellent, the finish is rich and unfaded, and the case and COA are included.
