"Like many here, I own quite a few high end Les Pauls. 
My Cloud 9 RO is the most realistic looking reissue that I own. 
More importantly, it is the best sounding Les Paul that I own. 
The weight is 7.54lbs, it will sustain for days and has the best fret board feel of my collection. 
I, now, understand why they are called Cloud 9's. It plays like a dream! "
