Current bursts for sale...

[simon]

My GAWD 289K Euro -ca. 359K us $.
Even WITHOUT the issues with p.u. tampering & previous grovers, that price is steep for a '58
But nice example nevertheless..

Just to make that clear. It's 315K US$ - even when you posted it was $326K

9-1865 Up for auction tomorrow at Dore and Rees, Somerset, UK. Owned by James Morgan since early 70’s.

 

[rainer2859]

Interesting take on values, last owner for 50 years, sold for £132k + 30% commission.

Makes a mockery of some advertised prices.

 

[sglp63]

That works out at c. $225k (incl. the commission).

 

[rainer2859]

Turns out it has the odd issue, so maybe not the bargain it appears to be.

Changed hardware (wraparound tailpiece), refretted, refinished, extra holes. Seems like a lot to ask.

Top wrapped likely orignal tailpiece (change the strings... jeeze). Some oversprayon sides. Bigsby holes. No big whoop.

It's a wraptail style bridge altogether. It has holes for where the set screws would go to adjust for intonation. Not original to the guitar.

Pretty much what I would have expected.

Nice guitar at a nice price.

So this morning I am checking out the Gibson Guitars @ Reverb.com and came across this ad for the "Greek Burst " . The ad further states that this Burst was owned and used from 1969 -into the 90's and I am very curious as to who this Greek guitarist was . Please help ? https://reverb.com/item/52351923-gibson-les-paul-standard-burst-1959-cherry-sunburst-the-greek-burst

Maybe if you buy it from them, they'll take the train over to Paris and pick it up for you.

Was also my first thought, but the website also says Hank’s - isn’t that a decent shop?

Let’s hope the output jack hasn’t been violated.

I have noticed :

Denmark Street Guitars, UK

"Denmark Street Guitars incorporates London Vintage Guitars, Amsterdam Vintage Guitars, Hanks Guitar Shop and Rockers."
"Contact name: Justin H "
..from the site "Vintage and rare"

So, mmh... who is who in TinPanAlley ???
Any British members can elaborate ?

Hanks Electrics, Denmark street guitars, London vintage guitars, AFAIK, in the end it's the same:
Harrison. 'nuff said..

Thanks for the clarification. they have a bunch of decently priced vintage gibsons and fenders on vintageandrare, and every time I’ve asked I get the same reply. «This one is sold, but I can find you a similar guitar». hopeless.
