Good workmanship, versatile and under rated.
Always wanted a Brian Moore I9 because of the versatility of sounds you can get from the way it is set up. A jack of all trades, master of none is what you get with is guitar but not pedestrian by any stretch . If I were to only to use one guitar this would be it; not because it is that good soundwise but good enough to pull off anything style I throw at it. The HSH Seymour Duncan coil tap pick up configuration allows single coil sound for blues/rock and a humbucking sound for jazz/Hard rock.
Quilted maple top is beautiful. Mine came with a Floyd Rose which I really like.
The I9 is a under appreciated guitar IMO and as good as Godin's and other like guitars. If you are a jack of all trades this is your guitar.

Andrey uploaded this photo to his Instagram on April 4th, 2019. IMO, Brian Moore has some confusing model names. In the comment section of his video titled, "Allan Holdsworth - The 4.15 Bradford Executive (cover by Andrey Korolev) 432 Hz" a viewer asks what kind of guitar Andrey was playing. Andrey responds and says "brian moore i9. 13p". He was playing the guitar on the right. I took a screen shot of the comment and added it to the submission photo.
Andrey has since used the i9 in several live performances and videos. In another Instagram post on October 9th, 2017, he mentions he is going to switch out the neck and bridge pickups with Black SSV Suhr Humbuckers, and a Black Vintage Suhr Single Coil in the mid. I assume this change was made at some point.
The guitar on the left is a Brian Moore i1F. I am unable to add it to his profile, nor add it to equipboard at this time.
