Dilemma - Which Would You Keep?

Okay, they both play and sound astounding. Play and Sound will not help me determine.

Looks and Value wise...which is the keeper?

Or do I go with GBall and sell off two or three other guitars? I have to cover around $4K to keep the R0

The Trad is the better "value" as its going to be 95% of the Custom Shop guitar without the cost. We've talked about this, and we've both been burned by the mystique of Custom Shop guitars in the past. But...the CS will hold onto more of its initial cash outlay better long term, that's just a fact.

Thing is, you gotta decide if you are all-in a Les Paul guy and those are what you really want to play or if you need the spice in your life. I'm coincidentally going through this right now and I've realized that in all honesty (to myself) I am just a Les Paul player to the core, so that's where I am going, selling off all the others and picking up another LP - something different from the three I already have.

Okay, so the Custom Shop 1960 Historic R0 came and it is MUCH nicer in person! Flame really shows in the light. But, it's not as
much flame as my 2013 Traditional. And the R0 was a NOS in the store so it's a 2018 and not a 2020, but is still brand new.



1960 Re-Issue

Why dont you just ask me to choose which hand i wanna lose?!?! What kind of sick, Sophies Choice game is this?!?! Its not right!! :pound-hand:
 
I've long been wanting an R0 because it's a 1960 Re-Issue. I was born in 1960 and I'll never own a real 1960 so this is as close as I'll get.

I also love that 2013 Traditional and still kick myself for selling my previous 2013 Traditional.

Soooooooooo, I guess I'm going to have to put some others up on the block and see if they bring in some $$$.

Good thing is, I'm in no hurry!
 
You kept them both, excellent!!
They both sound n play the same that 2013 Trad is just stunning!! If it were me amd I had to keep only one it would have been that.
