R9 GAS is strong. Tell me to buy this.

This has come up. I think I need to buy it. However, it's more than twice what I've ever paid for a guitar: $7,000.

I'd be a fool not to. Right?

You know your going to anyway

Looks pretty mean to me.

I've never met an R9 I didn't like.

Don't do it, total waste of money

Sell all your other stuff. The R9 will possibly make them largely redundant.

It's not often you see them that dark around the perimeter

That's more like it! He has a sweetener thrown into the deal which makes it f*****g irresistible.

F**k. Need to swing it.

I know the guy by the way. Trust him 100%. No question it's all good.

Buy it. Sell me the Tokai. We'll both be happy.

Promise me you'll get a tweed duluxe after this

If I get this I'll have to sell more than the Tokai. Collect the Tokai first thing tomorrow. Could be a short-lived relationship.

LOL. I think I'll be banned from buying anything until my 60th.

One hour left of my forties. Need to make a decision before I have to grow up.

Gibson R9 in the rare Divorceburst finish.

It's a fuckload of money for a guitar, especially given how many lovely instruments you haven't bonded with. Sure it's probably nicer but you seem to enjoy the chase more than the result so I don't see you being any happier with this one than the others. I'd love to be wrong!

EDIT: End of the day it's your money, and apparently discretionary money at that, but is this really the best investment in terms of happiness you'll get?

^^This.

If I was spending this much money Id really want to spend some time trying it out.
