Waddy Wachtel got his burst from Stephen and say it was Stephen's Manassass guitar. Might take a peek at it.

Waddy did get a Burst fm Stills but the one Waddy got has a B-5 Bigsby while the one Stills had in Manassas is a B-7. Much different in colour as well.

Waddy tells the story that Stills let him pick from several Bursts, and that the one he got, and has played throughout his career, was the best one (in his opinion)

The one in the Manassas pic is a different one, as pointed out by gmann. It's hard to tell from the pic, but that could possibly be the original, unfaded finish. Stills bought guitars like a fiend--same as I would have, if I'd had those giant royalty checks burning a hole in my pocket!

Waddy did get a Burst from Stills, albeit the one Waddy received is equipped with a B-5 Bigsby rather than the B-7 Bigsby that Stills used in Manassas. Moreover, the coloration is rather dissimilar.

Back in that time period, Bursts were $1500. Stephen had FU money back then…
