THIS is the epitome of a Burst....not some pristine piece of art in a glass case in a law office or podiatrist's, but one that has been PLAYED.

I now have a new favorite Burst ever.

Eric, can I borrow it for a few years?

At the risk of sounding inexcusably naive I have to ask ..what are the 2 small phillips head screws above and below the tailpiece for? Not that they don't add a certain Mojoistic conversational appeal...(.)(.). Where in GOD'S NAME did you find this JEWEL?? Please DON'T TELL ME YOUR WIFE BOUGHT IT FOR YOU....!!! Please give us ALL hope & tell us you bought a new house and found THIS up in the corner of the attic behind some old cardboard boxes.

It had a Bigsby trem at one point in time.

That's one of the most interesting looking Paul's i've seen in a long time... Crazy checking patterns.
