#654Current bursts for sale...
Thanks for the clarification. they have a bunch of decently priced vintage gibsons and fenders on vintageandrare, and every time I’ve asked I get the same reply. «This one is sold, but I can find you a similar guitar». hopeless. With that reply from them, you might have saved yourself a lot of...www.lespaulforum.com
Now, this should throw a spanner in the works here...The only time George played this is when he bought it from Norm at Norm's apartment in 1973. He had bought two of them and kept the one he liked. I was at Whalin's Sound City when he came back from Norm's. He walked in the front door with two brown cases and went straight to the back of the store where the office was. My friend & bandmate Albert Williams worked at the store and had told me that George was coming. I lived about 5-10 minutes away on the ccorner of Yucca & Cahuenga (or as we called it..Yucca Flats). Anyway, I don't see why they say it was George's. It was the one he gave the guy who bought Lucy from Whalin's and tried to extort more money and gear out of George for Lucy's return.
So George bought two bursts, kept the one he liked the most and used the other one to get Lucy back from Miguel Ochoa?Now, this should throw a spanner in the works here...The only time George played this is when he bought it from Norm at Norm's apartment in 1973.

I would say someone got a VERY good deal.Sold for $312.5k (incl. buyer's premium). Not a bad price for a nice-looking, but comparatively un-flamey Burst. Maybe its provenance added a few $s (or maybe that's were the market is moving...).
