On Gibsons site it mentions the guitar comes with the black Historic case,
a brown RI case, a book....... I didn't recieve any of this. This my first Gibson!
Can anyone shed some light on this? Should I have recieved this from the dealer? Thank you for your help!!!

i think you get that stuff with the purchase of a NEW guitar in 99, although people sometimes include it in the purchase of their used stuff..

the 99 RIs came with the mentioned items. Most people I know had to send in some kind of coupon or certificate that came with the guitar to Gibson to redeem the goodies. They usually had to wait a long time (up to a year in some cases).

Sorry guys/goils I just realized I posted this in the wrong forum! Didn't see
the "Historic" area..........A year!!! Ouch! Not too worried about it though. The
consolation I guess is I have this Beautiful guitar!!!!

RE: howardslespaul case goodies for R9

howardslespaul -

I bought my '99 R9 in March, 2000 and after umpteen emails, phone calls and a fax, I finally got the case goodies in November, 2000. The reason for the delay, apparently, was even though they had all the other stuff (strap, book, certificate) in stock, the manufacturer of the vintage style brown cases made them wrong so they had to start all over. Maybe they're caught up now and you'll get your's sooner but, don't hold your breath.

If it's a new 1999 R9 you are supposed to get
the goodie package.
Send a copy of your receipt along with your
waranty card and expect to wait several months.
