How many Bursts does Joe have now? I know he moved a couple along when he got Amos and another early V (I think...)
so I lost count.
How many guitars total (roughly) and how many amps?
I own 12 of them now. The Bosco Burst is a great guitar that I purchased from the original owner in Melbourne Florida. Al and his brother Frank bought the guitar in 1959 from their guitar teacher in New York. After Frank passed Al held the guitar until this year and finally decided to sell it. A friend of Al’s suggested that he contact me about possibly purchasing it. He reached out to Norm at Norman’s Rare Guitars and Norm called me. I spoke to Al via telephone for a few weeks and agreed on a price and arranged to drive down from Nashville to Melbourne Florida a few weeks ago. Three things that I love about this guitar. The Color, The Sound and most importantly I made a new friend in Al Bosco. I had to pay a lot of money for this guitar. There are no deals on this kind of stuff especially uncirculated and an original owner. The deciding factor for me was that I really liked Al as person and knew how hard a process this was for him to finally let it go. It’s 8.4 pounds of Les Paul goodness that I am blessed to own. Didn’t need a screw driver to tell this guitar was right. It revealed itself when the case opened. Joe B
PS: The original photos in black and white helped too.
