Incoming! Had this on order for months. Covid hit, and Martin closed down the plants. Should be here in 2-3 days.
I feel you, I've been waiting for an American Original 50s Tele for ages and just got word it will probably be 5 more months.

Nice job! What is the finish and how did you get the amber tint? It sort of looks like shellac.
all lacquer,,stew mac vintage amber,,,400- 2000 grit wet dry,, then clear,,buff on wheel,,rub down with old english dark polish,,then relic,,buff again,,
She's a beauty, mate.
Have you set the intonation 'cause the staggering looks too-perfect to be "true"?
You are right, it needs a proper setup.
I was on the road for 12 years, for some heavyweights,as a guitar tech and case pusher,,
Trust me,, its all set up perfect, I am also a studio owner and session player,,
So she arrived today...I am so glad I got this order months ago! This thing is awesome! Great access to the higher frets, awesome action, and with the thin body, I was not expecting the deep sound she gets.
Not new (22 years old). I've been playing others lately. But I pulled this out to try the new Overdrives in KAOS 8.x
It's basically a chambered reissue.
What a Honey! You need to wear a nice Tux when you take her out.

WOW what a Quilted Top
I ve always wanted a LP like that .. I ve heard about that chambered ("cloud 9" ? or something like that isn't it?)
Unfotunalty I ve never had the opportuity to try one of them.
What beautiful Paulas here. Great stuff! Not my latest but definitely one of the champions: I remember the moment when I first saw Dire Straits "Money For Nothing" with Mark's great Les Paul. Probably the reason why I bought this one much later in my life. Sometimes I find myself just staring at the maple top...
guys..sorry.. I m really going to buy one of theese.

I found a shop not so far from here where I could try the singol cutaway an even the un.cutaway but the new lockdown here in Italy stopped everthing again for.. nobody knows exactly how long
so ..I m asking You if anybody have one.
I'm a bit confused about how good should have to be a 1500€ of Asian production of this brand.
Any direct experience? (and honest feedback please.)

You can read the whole story about the R8, R9 guitars here: chambered reissue
They also mention the cloud 9.
My guitar is a 1998 Gibson Les Paul Ultima - one of the Gibson Historic series. It is chambered like this.
Cheers,

Hi, deadman42.
That guitar is stunning! Thank you for sharing your pictures.

My new Gibson Les Paul came in.

Mini Me?!@#?
I'm not artsy enough to articulate this in any kind of coherent manner, but there's something about the way the wood grain works with the cut of the guitar and the angle of the pickups & bridge that's absolutely stunning. I don't know if it stands out to others but it was certainly double-take material for me.
Nicely done, man.
this with bare knuckle juggernaut
