Does any one know about these instruments? Any issues? Price? History?

Either the '59 or '60 was at the last(?) show with a price tag of $249K.

The 60 has 59 pots, but late 60 features? :^*

 

[Rafael]

Shouldn't that 60 have reflector knobs, or are they only in mid to late 60?

The Tomato Soup finish is interesting at this low a serial number. Experiment?

I wondered what was going on with that burst, I think he had it at Arlington, and while the figure was nicer than mine, I like the overall look of the late 59 appointments of 0-0237 better...

He was talking about selling a burst to buy a better one, likely that 58, which is a killer looking guitar. Anybody know the damage on any of them?

"Add to basket" - yeah right :toobad

I added all three to my basket and also the 59 conversion-it felt good for 3 seconds.

I remember taking a second look, and thinking it wasn't truly a "tomato burst" color, but more like the 1400 series. The double ring klusons would be wrong for any early 60 Burst, though. [can't see which versions they are]

Rafael, the reflector knobs show up in late 1960. In the 7000 series for Bursts.
