stupid question, what does the "R" in R4 mean? for that matter, what does the 4 mean.

R = Reissues
4 = 1954

R4 = 1954 reissue
R6 = 1956
R7
R8
R9
R0 = 1960 reissue

I'm with Alec. This is better than any Lester I've owned.

R4 = 1954 reissue
R6 = 1956
R7
R8
R9
R0 = 1960 reissue

OK, so R4 is a 1954 reissue and an R6 is a 1956 reissue and an R0 is a 1960 reissue. I am catching on so far. But what is the R7, R8, and R9?



And if the Les Paul Classic is called a 1960 reissue, who gets shot if they call it an R0? :moon

Lessee got a bunch of worthy lester pics and some other brand sc's that are darn nice, but I'll just post the one Lester / SC I still have left.
