An uncirculated 59 discovered in Manhattan - Page 2

MisterMiniMite · 08-13-2010, 06:10 AM

Always exciting to see when one of the 10,000 of the original 1,500 Bursts gets discovered

Greg's Guitars · 08-13-2010, 06:34 AM

I have a feeling we are going to see more vintage gear surface over the next several years as the original owners and early collectors age and start letting go of their gear.

River · 08-20-2010, 09:21 AM

Probably afraid someone will claim it was originally thiers and was stolen....think that happened with Ed King and that collector who has all those bursts (Dirk something)

mertzy · 08-20-2010, 12:11 PM

Yeah, the thread had a well known NY area luthier named as helping the owner and also where the guitar was being stored, they were both probably getting inundated with calls and offers.

I wish I had copied and saved the pictures instead of just linking them! I'll keep looking over at TGP for a new thread to emerge.

Nils · 08-21-2010, 01:09 PM

I forgot to save the pics as well >.< For a sec I thought: AH! I saved pics of that one.
But I saved a pic from another burst claimed uncirculated (9-0836).

Pity. Was a pretty one!

To clean, or not to clean, that is the question...

Thanks Fletch!

Wonder if that means it has sold? Very interesting to see the guitar like it was found. It undoubtably needs to be given a bath.

Fletch · 09-01-2010, 04:35 PM

It was probably put on that site as it was authenticated and then possibly sold and never to be seen again.

Oh, it must be horrible. Millionaires calling from around the world, offering to throw insane amounts of money at me & out-bid all the others. I HATE that shit.

defintley needs a bath.....

LeftyF2003 · 09-04-2010, 09:21 AM

I would put a Floyd Rose on it first thing (ha ha, kidding of course!). My parents have everything + the sink in their attic, but sadly I don't think one of these is up there...

atheos · 09-18-2010, 04:16 PM

I saw this guitar a couple hours ago in Manhattan, and recognized it from this thread right away. Price tag is $220k
I got a snapshot, but I can't upload it until I get to a pc.

atheos · 09-18-2010, 06:41 PM

Here are the pics

River · 09-18-2010, 06:55 PM

Thanks for sharing, atheos. Looks a lot like the Page #1 in many ways. (I don't care what nicolasrivera says

)

River · 09-18-2010, 07:03 PM

Here's the same pickshure, with the red saturation balanced. Atheos, is this a more accurate representation of what you saw?
