• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

New web site with lots of old Burst photos!!

Albert Molinaro, who owned and operated GuitarsRUs in Hollywood for years.
He sold and owned some incredible Bursts, and tons of other guitars.
Looks like he is getting back into the vintage guitar world. That should be a good thing! :dude:

Many of us saw this photo in a book in the 70s and lusted after that incredible top:

And the caption is wrong, it is a 1959. :salude
