Burst Picture of the Week

burstheaven

I'm going to start a tradition on this forum that I'm actually stealing from Tom Whitrock. Wanna give the man his due, he does know his bursts. Each week I will be posting a photo or series of photos celebrating those beautiful vintage Gibson Les Pauls built from 1958 to 1960.

I will start with a gathering of vintage Bursts. Just think each guitar in this picture is worth at least $250k !!

I call this pic BurstHeaven !

Nice shot!
Actually,if all original,each guitar in that pic is worth about 400,000 large.

Probably because you didn't buy one when they
were at semi reasonable prices. Mid 70's around $1300.00.
Now they're crazy ridiculous.

Good time for a new thread. I'll have a few question for everyone
pertaining to this.

Haha. I think every feels that they deserve to have an original burst. The drooling factor...its just not fair for the rest of us.
