Members InterpolJaguar Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 Originally posted by PurpleStrat Ok fill me in. +1 Who expects some one to pay 30 grand for a guitar with that kind of pictures? I've seen better pictures in 2 grand auctions. Snorri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ashasha Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 Never heard of this guy, but then again I am not in the $30K market. Hell I am barely in the $30 market. Here is a website that seems to have more information about these replicas and some other relic'd gear.http://www.star69music.com/page8.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jec Posted March 28, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 This guy is pretty well known in the '58-'59 'burst community. One of his auctions featured an original bridge pup ring for a '59 Les Paul that went for something like $3000. Probably about a year ago, he had and original '59 on ebay for $300,000. It sold too. I haven't seen that he has had anything up lately. My favorite is when he berates people with questions. Like, we all know that it's only $300,000 so we should just take his word and {censored}ty pictures as gospel. No one is allowed to ask him any questions because he's the anonymous god of '59's or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most guys that have original bursts DO play them, and play them alot. Concerning this seller, this is Uncle Lou, and he is absolutely on the money, knows what he's selling, and honest to a fault (I have had no dealings with him directly, but has a stellar rep). That's a MAX replica, and they are claimed to be "all the guitar".....we shall see what this one does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're spending upwards of $100K on ANYTHING, you can bet it gets discussed ad nauseum. Heck, look at the number of guys that hang out and talk about Corvettes, and they're less than half the price of an original Burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
