These seem to really hold their value but I got it down to £2800, second hand in great condition, looks unplayed and smells incredible. Funded with money that I inherited from my grandad, makes it just that little bit more special.

That's a good deal, a new one of these are like £5k now....a used one they go from £3k to £3500 for a really nice top.
I keep thinking I want an R9 but I already have a Les Paul.

My budget was originally around £2000 for an LP Standard, but then the R9’s caught my eye and when I saw this I just had to jump. Yeah, those prices now of £5k are insane. They are lovely instruments and a lot of work goes in to making them, but it’s hard to justify those price bumps.

£2k for a Standard vs £2.8k for an R9....R9 everytime.
You can find a perfectly good Les Paul from the Standard, but the Custom Shop makes more consistent guitars, from lighter wood (I bet yours is around 8.5lbs), nicer top and more vintage vibe pickups.
Plus, you will always get your £2800 back, likely more as time goes on.

Yep, 8.6lbs
from less than ideal weighing scales. Great feel and finish, I do love strsts and this isn’t as unwieldy as I was thinking it might be.That’s what I though regarding the money, a bit of an investment. I see we now have a guitar thread, I’ll head over there.

Lovely table. Mind me asking where from? We've been looking for something similar.Wife decided we need a new table and chairs for the kitchen, so we have one. We did buy 6 chairs but it looked a little too busy with that many and we rarely sit 6 with just the 3 of us. The 2 extra chairs are now being used upstairs so can be added if needed.

My brother runs a local independent furniture shop so I can ask who supplies him.

Yeah that'd be great! We've been looking at Etsy the past while. Thanks

What makes it better is that they sent me this as a free replacement and I was 3 weeks out of warranty.

Which model are those, they look just like oklaysI thought I would try Dirty Dog sunglasses rather than pay a fortune. £35 delivered.
