1959 Standard    << go back Serial number   9 31082 Year built   2003 Location   UK Nickname   OL' TANG Added   2009-02-22 Notes   Amazing 2003 R9 Yamano '59 Ultra-Aged by Tom Murphy. Originally shipped to Yamano Music in Japan. The colour is Sunrise Tea Burst (STB) – originally a colour description only for Yamano orders. This very limited 2003 Ultra-Aged run produced 25 guitars. This is a flame thrower - wide tiger stripes, curl and an incredible 3D effect in the figure. It's got that 'peek-a-boo' flame effect and tangerine colouring like some of the original '50's 'bursts. The finish and aging is very similar to the Rossington Les Paul model with the only real difference being that this R9 has nickel and not gold hardware. I fell in love with the old looking top on this one. Just like a couple of my favourite 'bursts. Sounds and plays exceptionally well, thanks in part to the neck, which is unlike the majority of R9 necks I've played. This is much more like an original 1959 neck profile. Fitted out with a mixture of replica parts and original vintage parts.
