The first one is 9 0697, thanks a lot for that new pic. The second one is a '60 Burst but I do not have the s/n. However I have some more pics of the guitar itself, shoot me an e-mail and I will gladly forward them to you.

1994: the brief period when Kurt dressed like he was in Jane's Addiction.

He's also got a 3rd burst, a '60 with reflectors right? Any one have the number on that one?

I shot the last 13 pics of 0 7592 on your site :)

The burst serial is a great site by the way! :applaude

Many thanks, it is my pleasure. :jim

So may I ask you when did you take those pics? Were you selling it at that moment?

I took them at the previous owners home in Scotland in late 2008 before Kirk bought it.

didnt 9 0697 used to belong to Albert Molinario?
Sure did. It was one of my absolute favorites in the first Burst book. Last time I spoke to Molinaro, he wouldn't even consider selling it.

Kirk must have made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

I remember Albert buying that guitar. I had a chance but was too slow, and besides, he wanted it more than me. It went to the right guy, and he loved it for decades. :)
