Beauty of the Burst !

BOBBO · 11-04-2007, 10:27 AM

Hey .. Just wondering how many forum members own a copy of Beauty of the Burst ?? I think that book is required reading for this forum ! It has some of the most beautiful pictures of vintage Burst's ever ! This is not just a poll ! Feel free to discuss everything that is BOTB !!

Yep - it's essential bedtime reading and ogling for me. Thanks to internet porn I have no need for other glossy bedtime reading material!

BOBBO · 11-04-2007, 11:06 AM

My R8 next to a 1959 out of BOTB !

Spicoli · 11-04-2007, 01:15 PM

Gotta have BOTB! The tone Man book is also another great one, it has a lot of guitars not in the BOTB.

What's your favorite Burst out of BOTB ? Everybody has a fave ! Mine is #8-5418

Spicoli · 11-04-2007, 02:14 PM

Man, thats a tough one.. I love them all. I would say right now I'm drooling over page 70 & 71, the color goes so well with the flame. I also like page 76 & 77 and also page 78 & 79. I also love page 129.
