Riffster Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Buy it, I mean everybody needs an LP to keep tuned half-step down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHenry Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Why on earth would you want to buy something that old, when you could get a new one for a fraction of the price? Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Why on earth would you want to buy something that old, when you could get a new one for a fraction of the price? Ian Good point. Anyway, you should take a new set of tuners into account in case you want to play her. Of course, you will have to save the stock ones securely on the shelf for maintaining collector's value.

Ryan H Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hmm...looks like it could use a Floyd, maybe route it out for a third pickup and swap for EMG's...maybe a Roland GK pickup as well...route it for a B-Bender while we're at it...and Min-ETune as Rabs suggested. I can hear the collectors of the world sobbing already. -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Jeez.... local pickup only? For that price you think they could offer free shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Nice find, Rabs! Hmm...looks like it could use a Floyd, maybe route it out for a third pickup and swap for EMG's...maybe a Roland GK pickup as well...route it for a B-Bender while we're at it...and Min-ETune as Rabs suggested. I can hear the collectors of the world sobbing already. -Ryan Wouldn't have thought that before, but your lines are making me a collector. ;) Jeez.... local pickup only? For that price you think they could offer free shipping. Would feel better transporting her myself in my car, but due to value I perhaps couldn't resist the feeling of carrying a house including estate.

'Scales Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 cool - it looks a bit like those 'Lawsuit' guitars which supposedly have great tone and sustain. go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Though I wouldn't mount it, at that price even I'd insist on supply of the original pickguard including screws as pictured here. It obviously made for leaving a small area of original dye: I hope Joe Bonamassa won't pick up this one. I wouldn't want to see her top-wrapped.

Riffster Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Man, the prices on this things are out of control, they do not look much different than a current reissue in person, nothing that matters really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drog Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Wonder if the little lady would be ok with me selling the house for this? It would be an investment after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Wonder if the little lady would be ok with me selling the house for this? It would be an investment after all. Buying her in 1959 for a few hundreds, or for somewhat less at a blowout in 1960 would have been an investment. For the successors, that is! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't get that for it. $200k maybe. Which is still sick $ for a guitar mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capmaster Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 It was a joke, bro. Like half a mil and no free shipping, WTF. No problem so far, the seller argued with insurance problems, too. Might apply in general, don't know too much about that. In the pharmaceutical industry, we often have to deal with goods of less weight and a multiple of value compared to a vintage guitar, but at least here the insurance of pharmaceutical goods is very different from everything else. E. g. every transportation is previously assured by the customer, and any insurance by freight forwarders is definitely prohibited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Yeah. I think I am gonna hold off until another 1959 Burst comes along. This one just doesn't speak to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Mac Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Wow... Is that a famous one? That seems to look alot like JB's Skinner Burst... Do we know the history of this guitar? I'm certainly curious... Very sharp looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
