If you had to pick 1 would it really be any of those three?3, in fact.

Most definitely. The hard part is R9 or 68RI.If you had to pick 1 would it really be any of those three?
Brilliant.I once ordered two of the exact same Strat so I could keep one and return one, and that's exactly what I did because they were quite different from each other, even after a good set up.
But you are appreciating the difference not trying to find two the same. I mean people who buy two supposedly identical guitars even sequential SN in order to seamlessly swap between the two. You have a choice of favourite similar guitars. I have many favourites and they swap around but no two are the same. I did actually try to do this in my 20s but even though I replicated everything possible I could still tell them apart with my eyes closed.Most definitely. The hard part is R9 or 68RI.
To your point, I guess the one Im likely not selling despite getting a great offer on is the favouriteBut you are appreciating the difference not trying to find two the same.

The big draw for me is how the current one plays and feels. I’ve played examples that also felt great, so I’m sure it would at least be in the same ballpark. I might change pickups out on a 2nd. I’m also all for a different look on a 2nd, but they’re Korina, so there is variation in the visible grain.To the untrained eye, it may look like I have some duplicates. However, none are exactly the same. They have different specs in pickups and wiring as well as some have different hardware components, tuners, bridges, etc.. They are also different finishes. I don't think I have two guitars of the same brand with the same finish.
I had two PRS DGT that played and sound so much alike I couldn't tell them apart by listening. One was a Cherryburst 10-top and the other was a Goldtop. The Cherryburst was so pretty it intimidated me so I rarely played it and eventually gave it to my son-in-law so it could intimidate him.Don't even try to get two to be EXACTLY the same. I have had a lot of pro players over the years come to me with this wish and it isn't possible. No matter how similar the two you always have a favourite and the other is only played as a back up. Don't waste time and money chasing this just get something else and embrace the difference. The difference is the point in owning it and where as a back up needs to be able to do the rest of your set it doesn't need to be identical (because it can't be.)
