Have not seen those versions, but would love too just the same. The Ikebe Guitar sites, even though I cannot read a lick of Japanese, speak the universal language to me when posting their killer picks of Gibsons - Great pictures dont need to do any talking....

It's one of my favorite guitar books. I like 9 0663. I have a particular affinity for the darkbursts and this one happens to have been owned by 2 of my favorite LP players, Slash and Joe Perry.

I think it's cool that Slash gave it back to Joe on his 50th birthday.

oooh, other favorites are 9 0310 and 9 2225. Darkbursts and TobaccoBursts.... mmmmmm

I love how deep the red is, I'm not sure if I would want it that wide.

tonepot · 11-13-2007, 01:20 PM

and my votes goes to # 9 0926 with 'double whites'

though # 8 6727 ain't bad either ...

I picked it up for about £12 ($24) on the UK Amazon.

You can get it on the .com here for ~$24 too:
Amazon.com: The Beauty of the 'Burst: Books: Yasuhiko Iwanade

It's a fantastic book to have on your coffee table.

The only thing I find slightly unusual about the book is that all the descriptions of the different types of 'Bursts, how the wood is chosen and how the guitars are made is right at the back of the book. I had to read that bit first to understand all of the info on the actual guitar pages!
