As we approach a new decade, Joe and I have obtained THE turd of the past decade (if not the entire 21st century) for our collection. It's a 59 burst that had been refinned Candy Apple Red decades ago. How do we know its a burst? First of all, it has factory large frets. Secondly, look at the original paint in the pickup cavities. Thirdly, the location of the Gibson logo. Check out the flamey center seam top. Finally, the pots are dated the 7th week of 1959. Collectively...what do all of these add unmistakenly up to? A 1959 burst!
Check out the flame. It's identical to those guitars, including Nicky and Snakebite, in the 9 19xx serial number range.
Enjoy the pics. We'll keep you posted, every step of the way, with the restoration project.
