A nice young collector in Auckland has this now, complete with the 1953 pickups in it.godgrinder wrote:Who has your R4 now? That one's still haunting me!

R7 Ltd Edition. Thanks to those that talked me out selling this a few years back.

Was hoping this thread had been called "Show us your R's"

Good to see the healthy presence of wraptails ( my personal preference)

Re: Gibson Historic R's
Had a Custom, a Classic, and a Traditional. Never a Standard unless I count the 70s Ibby one. Bucket list. As much as I love a good Les Paul tho, I think the price of a true historic would get me a 2017 Triumph Bonnie. Can't ride a guitar.

Re: Gibson Historic R's
I love wrap tails too. Both the R9 and R7 have Throbak MXV101+ sets in them. The R7 is aggressive and big sounding, the R9 is articulate, honky and very responsive. Given the pickups are the same every other difference is in the guitars...design, wood, etc.Dharmajester wrote: Stock pu's ?

You can get bigger from the latter.
