bonzoboy Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 One of my buddies just loaned me a book that he just bought on the net called The Beauty of the 'Burst by Yashiko Iwanade.It has a large number of '58,'59 &'60 'burst Les Pauls,all listed in chronological order.The book is so detailed with splendid pix of the most adorable Les Pauls it would bring any Les Paul lover almost to tears.This guy has amassed some of the world's most desirable 'bursts including Billy Gibbon's Pearly Gates and some of Slash's collection as well as Peter Green's beauty.I don't think that it's in print any longer as it was published in Japan but what a fabulous lot of eye candy.The English printing was produced by Hal Leonard so it may well still be available but it's a must for any Les Paul fan and really for any guitar lover.

pippy Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 There are many here who love that book !..... Mine is the 1998 English print edition. It doesn't have the Peter Green / Gary Moore guitar. When was your friend's edition printed? P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Natural Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 i have that book, i don't read it i just look at the pics I read it through when I first bought it. Now, I, too, just look at the pics. 'Burst: 1958 - '60 Sunburst Les Paul by Jay Scott and Vic Da Pra is another good read (and look). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
