I've been looking for a LP for at least 15 years with this combination: 1. Dark burst 2. Flame that 'points' toward the bottom strap button instead of toward the neck or being straight across Found this Custom Shop R9 2018 model on Reverb and it's on the way! Super excited!

Yowza!! (and I don't even like LPs all that much). If it plays and sounds half as good as it looks, you have a winner. Enjoy.

Congrats, Lou! She's a beauty and I bet you're going to love it. What pickups did Gibson use in the 2018 models? I've been jonesing for an ebony LP Custom or an R9. I understand that the solid mahogany R9's weigh less or about the same as a weight relieved model does. Can't wait to hear all about this new baby of yours!

I'm not sure what PU's are in it yet (should be in the paperwork), but it weighs in at 8lbs, 14oz, which is the same as my chambered 2012 LP.

I was going to post a pic of my darkburst R6 with the flames pointing to the back like yours but I didn't want to detract from the thread on your new baby. Let's just say we have similar tastes in LP flametops. My carpal tunnel forced me to sell it but a few years later I had the surgery and I wish I'd held on to that one. One of the few guitars I regret selling but I just couldn't play it anymore.

Sweet ! IIRC, these tops are referred to as 'chevron'.
