Timing is a sucky thing... if the R4 had been available this month, I'd now have a Gibson. :x

Grant, what's the differences between the R4 and the 54RI? (Apart from the fact that you only kept one of them).
The 54RI is a TOM bridge, AlNiCo neck pickup monster...here it is.

Where as you can see the black R4 has a wrap around tail piece and 2xP90's (from 1953 in this instance).

So they are very different sounding beasts...and the '73 is heavier. But I do prefer it as it has this amazing honky tone which reminds me of a good PAF. It is harder to play though.

Note the bent tailpiece - from years of being under string tension.
