If people would play them for what they are, good guitars made when craftsmanship was king it would be a whole different animal.

But look on the bright side, the VOS and other Historics will one day be old guitars as well, so in the future it will be possible to own a "vintage" Les Paul made to the 50's specs.

Refin- you got lucky that's nice guitar, what is that thing with the speakers in picture, old stereo record player?

YES !! I do agree Bursts are way out of control in the $$$$$$$ dept !!! And way out of reach from the average guitar player !! But it's always nice to dream right ??? If I ever go the vintage route , I'd probably get a 52 and do a conversion on it to get bang for the buck !!!!!

i would kick a nun down a flight of steps.
just kidding. an old lady, yes, but not a nun.

There isn't much that I WOULDN'T do for a Burst. I'd be ashamed to even start a list of terrible things that I'd do for a Burst! I'd do anything mentioned in this thread for starters, and let it get crazy from there!

Collectors and investors created the hype and escalated the price to where guitar players can't own one. Why would I want a guitar that I couldn't play without risk in damage to it's overinflated value?

Now when the vintage guitar market tanks and those guys that mortgaged the house for them need money to buy a loaf of bread, I might consider the original 1959 price of $250.00 as being generous after all it is a used guitar.

another victim of minimun wage me thinks.
so anyone who owns a burst isn't a guitar player?, thanx for clearing that up for me.
tell ya what, why don't you sit by the phone and wait for the call on your $250.00 burst.you are by far the most generous guy i've ever seen.
ever notice it's the guys that don't own vintage ,that are always waiting for the market to tank. until that time comes vintage sucks.same crap i've been hearing since 1972.i can't afford it ,so it sucks and is overpriced.

While I'd love to have a burst in the abstract, In the real world I don't think I'd enjoy having a guitar that required special security measures because of its value, and that I therefore wouldn't be able to play every day, take to gigs, etc.

I can see owning a $20K guitar. I just can't see owning a $100K guitar.

Maybe if I had a bigger house...with a vault....

Big_dawg · 07-04-2008, 10:31 AM

whats 1977 $1000 in todays money...., that still sounds a lot for back then even...

banditguitarist1 · 07-04-2008, 11:44 AM

for a 1959 in Mint Condition Id do quite alot actually lmao how about someone offers me one and then we can talk about things lmao. I would swim in an aquarium tank full of sharks stark naked in the middle of December :] then get out steal a car and go 125 mph before jumping out and letting it crash into a bus of school children. (maybe not the second part but the tank why not)

mdr40z · 07-04-2008, 12:41 PM

would you feel good playing one when you know it's stolen?
I've got the idea I wouldn't
you'd never be able to show it to anyone because you risk recognition

trguitar · 07-07-2008, 11:19 PM

I'd eat s**t with a hot spoon! lol!
