PAUL STANLEY BURST

[landminelenny]

Interesting theoretical post from the other forum….

Actually, this is ingenious! Paul buys this guitar, fully knowing that it's a fake...and pays "fake" price for it. Has it restored, and then insures it for the value of a normal 'burst (has GM "authenticate" it for him and give him an appraisal; meanwhile, the insurance company probably doesn't know the difference). Breaks it on stage, and collects on the insurance claim. With the proceeds, goes and buys himself a real 'burst! I like the way "he" thinks! :thumb: :naughty:

lol! Whatever it is/was, it's now a "celebrity owned" guitar!

It appears Stanley has bought himself another 59'?

From Ted Turner of Wishbone Ash?

I remember an interview with him a few years ago that focused on his painting. In it, he said he sold most of his guitars including his bursts. I wonder what has inspired him to acquire more now?

This used to belong to Ted, but he was not the one who sold it to Paul. Ted sold it in the 80s.
It is a real Burst, but refinished. 9-1255

Here's what Paul has to say about the Duchess' restoration:

"Here'th "the duthethth". Elite bloodlineth but fell out of favor from circumthtantheth beyond her control. Reinthtated to her former plathe in the royal family with help and a great refin from my friend gord miller at gm vintage."

"buying a vintage thunburtht leth paul in need of tlc ith a lot like getting a pedigree pure bred from the rethcue pound. You know the potential. You know what it can be if rehabilitated and you altho have no idea why thomeone did what they did to it. But theeing it after it'th been nurthed back ith definitely worth all the time and effort.”

-- Paul Stanley, 2013

Fixed the quote for you.

Paul Stanley is an avid player of Gibson guitars, and I certainly hope he enjoys owning that 59 Les Paul. He owns a bunch...
