Some people relic with a razor blade, however it appears that the tool of choice for this job was a jagged rock. I don’t know what this this thing is, but it’s certainly not a 59 burst.

The guitar looks like it was dipped in candle wax... The whole story seems suspect at best...:dude:

Could be legit.

"Grover tuners removed with angle grinder"

Burst with Grover's hidden away in an old shed or car perhaps ?? :hmm
