The photos aren't the crispest, so I can't swear... but it has some features in common with 0-8070: zebra PAFs; the line that runs between the pickup rings at the upper edges; the fleck or grain line (near parallel to the strings) above the tailpiece; the swatch of flame by the tone knobs.


There's some more info in your "Burst That Got Away" thread, post 410 and on (pg 11 on my browser):

Okay, it just occurred to me to check the inlays, and the 7th fret inlay is a dead giveaway.

It is indeed 0-8070.

Hard to tell for sure from the photo, but doesn't that neck heel look unusually square for a Burst?

Hard to tell from a bad 30 plus year old Polaroid but 0-0154 that i had had a heel that looked very similar,it had a huge neck.Wish there were clearer photo's but Gaston owned this one for a good while and if there were any problems i am sure he would have known and mentioned it.Thanks Mike B.
