I purchased this R9 in spring of 2011 and it has never been gigged and has only about 3 hours of playing time on it since it has been in my hands. The pictures are not doing the top or the guitar justice. I am really hating to sell this, but I have to due to circumstances. The guitar I would rate at 9.9 out of 10. The guitar is listed in the local market as well on the Rev. site and it may terminate at anytime. I will entertain offers on this that are reasonable.
