Lucky guy! How was it, what were your thoughts on it after you had played it?It was $225,000
Well....the market isn’t what it used to be. Ten years ago that guitar would have been easily worth half a million before the recession.Lucky guy! How was it, what were your thoughts on it after you had played it?
$225k seems really cheap for a '59, don't they usually sell for double that price or higher?
Cool, now you're ruined for life, lol.
Did your hands sweat? Mine sure did the first time I held a Burst. Getting your hands on one is the only way to know what the fuss is about, it'll give you a much better grasp of what to look for in a good LP in the future.
I think that it may have been a late 59. Perhaps Gibson was preparing to make the first batch of 60’s and decided to throw these newer knobs on there.Reflector knobs?![]()
Yah, he was incredibly nervous holding it. I’m sure he never thought this would happen at any moment in his life.Very cool!
Looks like your father keeled over from the excitement!

Lol!You should have asked if they do financing. ~ $5000 a month for 48 months.
I think they let my dad and I play it because it was a Monday morning when no one was there to go “oh can I play it too.”I don't even ask to see it when I go to Elderly.
Over three, maybe. Half a million, not hardly. Replaced tuners, wrong knobs, wrong pick guard screw, possibly some other odds and ends.Well....the market isn’t what it used to be. Ten years ago that guitar would have been easily worth half a million before the recession.
As for how it played....it lived up to the mythos.
