there's an unanswered question and the reserve has been removed, so maybe he's already bought i?
Stated in the description...

"Original Retail $14999.00"

Then in the questions...

"These were $16000 new"

Is he just taking random stabs in the dark?
Considering he bought it for $5k off swordfishnz who bought it direct from guitars rock... he reckoned on the previous auction he'd bought it direct from gibson... so many lies...
Is there any way to see previous auctions now? This new TM update seems to have removed the option and I can't seem to get back to the old version.

It's also not a True Historic. IIRC they only made TH R9's in 2015 and it'd say "True Historic" on the toggle cavity cover.
Amps:
Soldano SLO100 x2 | Wizard MC1 & MC2 | Diezel Herbert
Fryette Pittbull CL | Marshall 2203KK | Krank Rev 50 | Mesa Mark 2A

Rack stuff:
VHT/Fryette GP3, GP/DI & 2/90/2 | Peters FSM/Chimera
Verellen Meatsmoke | Synergy SYN1 | Mesa Studio

Conway seemed to think it was a custom order that Malcolm got in, done to R9 specs, but given old mate goldplated reckons he bought it from Gibson....

interesting he's finally come down to a reasonable market value...
https://www.trademe.co.nz/music-instrum ... 2d77f4-001

buy now is less than his squire affinity apparently with a fender hard case, though no pictures as currently in storage... though no reserve, I'm guessing $850

So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
