I think I found Beano

Heck, forged paintings have been fooling art collectors and "experts" for centuries.

Don't go there, J.D., pretty soon we'll have ourselves another "authentication" thread on our hands and who needs that?

 

[duaneflowers]

Is this Beano? :hmm

 

[hoss]

Is this Beano? :hmm

No. This guitar has Klusons and I think I see reflector knobs.

BTW, typical filming of the early rock ages. Guitar solo and they show the drummer :spabout

Ah, back in the day when lip syncing was perfectly acceptable and guitar cables were not. :laugh2:

[mistersnappy]

No. Its the SummersBurst and filmed in France, late '66.

So anyone ID the current Beano, I mean, Fogerty 'Burst owner?

Nice photo of a properly Grovered headstock:

Nice picture, JD. Would love to see a similar one of the Fogerty burst. Probably not gonna happen. Oh well.

Assuming no-one ever filed the 3 spurs down so as not to indent the headstock ?

Have you ever seen that done? I haven't. :hmm

Point is, it is not uncommon to miss this if installed and removed carefully; even harder if attempts made to conceal it :jim

I take this that you are implying that someone would alter the Grovers so that they could subsequently remove them without anyone knowing they had been on. Why would anyone do that in the 1960s? I can't imagine they ever thought someone would want to put the original tuners back on.:hmm

 

[J.D.]

Hypothetically, if this is Beano, and it was resold at some point, it is plausible that the retrofitted Grovers were first removed and evidence of this modification was concealed, as everyone was looking for a Grovered Les Paul. Hypothetically of course :jim

 

[Tarcisioo]

I don't get why some people get angry by those who keep beating the beano horse. Let them be...


Beano is the guitar. The one that started all. Without beano, maybe this forum wouldn't exist. I don't have a clue of how much it would raise in money if ever sold legally, but I'm pretty sure it would be the most expensive guitar ever.


Those guys who suspects Fogerty burst is beano, may have a point, who knows. I never met Hickey, but respect his reputation, but when talking about such history and such value, saying it itsn't when "only" you inspected it is just not enough

 

[hoss]

Without Beano this forum would not exist and without Slash this forum would not exist, too.

 

[goldtop0]

Without Les Pauls this forum would not exist:lol

Without Les Paul this Forum wouldn't exist. :jim

I think it would. But it would've probably been named differently. The "Billy Bauer Forum" or such ... who knows.
