Bee Gees Burst

[goldtop0]

Not seen this one before with guitarist Vince Melouney a nice looking burst.
Anyone got any info about it.

No info, but the videography is hilarious. he only chestnut they didn't roll out was placing the drummer out front and guitar, bass, and vocalist in the back.

Amazing vibrato voice! Miss those guys! Their vocal harmony was incredible!

Definitely not my favorite genre of music, but DAMN that boy could sing! The burst was beautiful! Even tho it didn’t get enough screen time.

From facebook:
“I use a Gibson Les Paul, which has very powerful pick-ups. I've 'doctored' it slightly... every guitar needs some adjustments to the players personal need. We all use Marshall amps. They never give us any trouble. "
Vince Melouney in Beat Instrumental, December 1967

This picture was in the same Facebook thread. I assume the guy on the right is Vince Malouney in recent times and I surmise the black Les Paul he is holding is the burst refinished. I could of course be completely wrong. I've messaged him on Facebook and asked him about it. No harm in asking a question. Just waiting for a reply (if any).

It’s a fuzzy picture but those inlays look like the dreaded ugly greenish ones they used whenever that was, the late 1990s I believe.

Back then for me it was always the Beatles and the Stones.
But my younger sister liked the Bee Gees and I had to admit that they really wrote some great songs.
When Vince and Collin left in 1969 it became another band. Well, just for me.
Never liked their disco stuff. (or anybody's disco stuff)

The black one is a Les Paul Classic.
