Omschrijving
De originele Gibson Les Paul 1960 Dutchburst!
Zie voor het verhaal: http://www.dutchburst.com
This original guitar was a special order made for a Dutch jazz artist in 1960 who used the guitar his entire life and eventually left it to his son. A guitar with a stunning pinstripe flame top and Serial 011167. One of the very last of the illusive 635 or so ‘Bursts’ crafted in the year of 1960 before production stopped. One of a small number that were shipped to Europe and one of very few that survived. It surfaced in 2006 on a sunny day in August. A man in his early forties brought a black guitar case into the Max Guitar store in The Hague, Holland. This couldn’t be a late 1960 Les Paul? Could it? Rich, thick weather checking, fatty, greasy dirt on the instrument. Worn, yellowed plastic parts and Shrunken tuners, grooves in the dark fingerboard, Rusty strings making a grinding noise over the corroded frets. A seasoned instrument, Played & Loved for decades – Stored for safekeeping inside an upright piano for 18 years!
Just 300
