BURST PORN

[Banker]

Last December I had the Custom Shop redo the finish on Donna.l

Wow, big decision, was it already refinished?

It sure looks good. Not everyday the paint-shop gets to shoot the real thing.

Lovely Charlie!

The longitudinal grain looks like abalone!

Which is very fitting given that Eric from Abalone Vintage got me into this guitar.....:salude

Here are a few shots of Banker's great looking 8-0749,one of Mick Ralph's old babies.When it was at Gruhn's for sale in the mid 80's i think.Really nice burst IMO.Thanks guys for posting all these amazing bursts -they all look spectacular to me.

My first burst on left with 0-0308 a locally found guitar with mild curl and great color .Red Rocket thanks for asking about my health. I am doing better ,the new heart meds are helping some.

I heard Charlie had those refinished at the Custom Shop a while back. It's all over the internet.

oh my.. what a thread!

maybe a dumb question: does anyone have any candid shots of Pearly?

1953.. a stunning specimen, indeed (they are all magnificent, but that one really excites me)

I will also pass a thank you to everyone posting pics! I'm humbled to be here.

Pearly naked = Burst Porn :ganz

hee hee... I forgot about that one (I had seen it once a while back). Thank you, Sir!! Pearly is the first one that I ever saw. Older cousins were jamming the Rev when I was about 8/9 and they always spoke of the "magic" in the Les Paul he played (none of them played music.. just listened). I was just beginning to play then, and I've been chasing his 'magic' ever since.

Thanks Banker, please show and tell us more of this BEAUTY.

There's nothin' wrong with that!

 

[CDaughtry]

The ATC wanted to join the party....:jim

 

[Hillbilly JT]

^^ Morning wood? :laugh2:

Damn! the mineral streaking, and the forearm fade plus the nice tight irregular flame are standing out to me. The cherry on the horn and toggle area is really beautiful in that light.

Did you take the pic, Charlie?

 

[CDaughtry]

I did.:jim

Here's one where Pearly is "dressed".

 

[Hillbilly JT]

^^ Another nice one!!

One thing that amazes me is that figured maple has a perspective to offer in every conceivable light source (or rendering).

Have you ever played Pearly, Tom? If so, would you mind telling us about it?
