If you’re looking for an R9 with a big neck here you go. It’s a 2023 model purchased new by me and played maybe 5 times so it’s still fully mint. Per the Music Zoo’s original description: Good friend and customer of The Music Zoo, David Misley spec'd his own Made 2 Measure out with "the biggest neck that Gibson Custom can build" - and we loved the feel of it so much when the first one came in that we've decided to make a few of our own for the shop. The neck is a full feeling baseball bat of a profile, with rounded shoulders that fit naturally to the curve of your fretting hand.

I will add that it's not so huge as to be uncomfortable at all but the chunkiness is undeniable. All original with a very nice Factory Burst finish. For a while I had a replacement bridge pickup installed but the original Custombucker is back in.
