- Finish: Vintage Original Spec (VOS) nitrocellulose Honeyburst
- Body & Top: Lightweight mahogany body with a hand-selected figured flame maple top.
- Neck: Mahogany with a historic '59 rounded profile and long neck tenon, joined with hot hide glue.

The 2013 Historic Reissue Significance
- Golden Year for Custom Shop: 2013 is widely celebrated by players and collectors as a banner year for the Gibson Custom Shop, introducing ultra-accurate specs like realistic plastics, upgraded aniline dyes, and historic hide-glue neck construction. [1, 2, 4, 5]
- 3-Pickup Rarity: While standard R9s feature two humbuckers, the rare three-pickup factory runs offer unique out-of-phase middle-position wiring variations favored by specific players chasing Peter Frampton or traditional custom aesthetics.
- A user on the Gibson Forums notes that 2013 models offer exceptional sustain and incredible responsiveness out of the box, though a single user also pointed out keeping an eye on multi-pickup toggle switch maintenance if left under continuous contact tension. [1]
