I look at that and go: "Oh, fuck..." Whatever that cost it was worth it. :thumbup:

I've been looking at an R9 but the exchange rate makes me bottle-out (and the lack of actual money). Fuck, I think if I saw one like that though I'd just make it happen and figure out the details later.

Here's a Billy Gibbons 'Pearly Gates' Artist Proof Les Paul for $40,000. Not as nice as the one above.

This is my current '99. I paid a little lower than market rates for it but the guy insisted on sending it FedEx. $650 later...but yeah, who cares.

The new one has a tough standard to better....USPS tells me it's languishing somewhere by Boston.

Airdad's guitar looks like a mid-90s Classic. They have great tops.
