I'd always chose the R9 over the Custom, 'cause I wanna stay 2 hours on stage without harming my back and shoulders. Love the look of the 57 custom, but have never ever played one that was light…

I haven't had the chance to play either, but I really want a BB7 to compliment my R7.

Is there a '2nd hand pre-2000 LP' option?

Wonder if that's Fripp's guitar?  He's been cleaning out his "attic" for years now.
