Just wondering, when I see numbers like this: $244,546., they seem almost comically specific. Is it like the base desired price with dealer commission figured in or something like that?

Thanks!

Usually those would be prices converted from another currency. If a burst is for sale in the UK, it probably has a nice, even price tag in £, and Reverb would convert it to an odd $ number.

You’ll also see the odd numbers fluctuate constantly, along with the market.

Have we decided what's up with the headstock on that dark burst yet? That star next to the logo, the rather sloppy scrape job on "Gibson" and the silk screen being in the wrong place and a little cockeyed? Do we know the story?

Ah, that makes sense, thank you!

Looks like Al R. has the late Mark Reale's (Riot) burst (9 0314) up for sale. I remember how stoked Al was when Uncle Lou was selling the guitar after Lou bought it from Mark's father. It's up for sale now via reverb. Nice lemondrop plainttop '59....

I presume the $375,000 price tag on a plain top is a typing error.

Well, either that or I'm behind the market. I'd sell a flamey 'burst for $100k less.

I really dig the Mark Reale Les Paul...especially the aged amber sunburst plain top. Add in a dose of Mark Reale provenance and you have one special guitar! :dude:

I wonder which amp. The Matchless, the Fender or possibly something else? Does anyone know? Great sound!

The name of the player is Justin Forrest. He is an incredible player and great guy. He also can sing with as much soul. He is currently recording an album that will be coming out soon.

There are a couple on Reverb sold in Japan. You have to set your shipping preference to "anywhere" to see them. Can't upload pictures, sorry. :##
