Finally! My First R9!

[Ransom]

After years of waiting, and wanting. I'm proud to say I finally own a 59 reissue in Factory Burst. Took a good month of going to different guitar shops to find one, and here it is!

Nice did you take the cover off the toggle switch?

 

[Ransom]

No, I hadn't even put it on yet! I opened it up took pics then put the switch on, then plugged her in.

BEAUTY!!!!
I almost always played vintage guitars and had been a playing pro for over 20 yrs when I got my first in early 2000. I still have it and have never regretted it. You must be so pleased.

Did the lining in the historic cases get upgraded? Yours looks much safer and plushier than the one that came with my R8 from 2019.

Congrats, nice one.

They recently upgraded the cases so the guitar does not slide so much.

It definitely is a little more plush, seems they also got rid of the foam for the headstock and placed a nice little pillow for the headstock.
