Unregistered burst up for auction

I love it.

Whoa, I just realized the this is in the next town from me! Might want to see if I can take a look.

Edit: never mind, bidders only.

Sure looks like the grain pixels match up to me :hmm

And the wood appears to be the same color in the indented areas.

The graft is a very good match and maybe from the same chunk of wood the body was cut from. If it was a sticker that area would be darker not lighter in color. An in hand inspection is the only way to tell for sure. Still looks like a graft to me.

From the description:

Body is fashioned largely from one piece of mahogany with small wing on base side of lower bout. This is believed to be 100% original from Gibson factory.

OK, this is way above my pay grade: who here can document authoritatively that they have ever seen such a thing on ANY OTHER BURST? Not talking about any other model of LP, such as the all-gold GT mentioned above. Asking about any verified instances of two-piece Mahogany bodies 58-60 Les Paul Standards. Anyone?

Sold for $185,000 plus 20% buyer's premium = $216k

Plus tax if you don't ship out of state.

Hammered at 180 not 185. :salude

Hmmm - website says 185.

Congrats!!

I bailed on the stuff I was bidding on. No deal to be had.

I'm in the Westport, CT area and received a notification on this auction a while back. I'm not in that economic local, so I could not dream of even going in and taking a look. Know JBLPplayer won a pedal from this auction and went in to personally pick it up. Would be interesting to hear what an expert thought of this piece, from a tone and play ability perspective, if anyone actually went in and took a look.

I think he won more than a pedal.:dude:

Now that someone here owns this one- what is the opinion on the piece that was described as being a different piece of wood?

Minibucker · Jun 19, 2020

So was Joe B actually in Westport? If so, I'm a little miffed he didn't call, I'm a town away..... thought we had something, dude.
