tw59 and his gear

[lasher]

saw tw59's (some of them i guess) old wood in dallas. didn't stop and chat,,,just checked the guitars out 5 or 6 times.

but i wished he would have warned the board he was going to be wearing shorts. thems the whitest laigs i've ever witnessed! damn near blinded me. :lol2

Stop leaving us in suspense and describe the vintage bursts, dammit.

 

[CDaughtry]

If you thought Tom's were white, you OBVIOUSLY didn't see Ganzler's......:lol2

 

[lasher]

yes i saw the other set of corpse hued legs....it really was shocking.

the gear...? lets see, claw, the other woman, a 57, a refin burst, nice old jr, a special. it's great just to have seen them. and 2 nice tokais as well.

 

[zorglub!]

Don't dare to say there are no pics...

 

[lasher]

i'm certain someone will post some pics, i didn't even take a camera, i had too much stuff to haul around the way it was. but, every time i checked his booth out, someone was snapping photos.

I've seen some pics from the show!The guitars and gear are pretty cool but the people who went down there are better!Some killer cats!:wail :lhg

Here's a shot. More info later [just got in from the show].

Somebody please post a clearer shot.

Sunglasses were available.
[for those bothered by my "bright" white legs :eek]

Here's a couple more:

58/59 red double cut, 4 digit Jr
57 GT
59TV
59 refin/restored Burst[originally black]

59Burst:Claw" 9-1953
56 TV Model
54 Junior
55/56 Black Standard "Blackie"

 

[Tom Wittrock]

And the three in the middle:

59 Refin
58 Burst 8-5388 "The Other Woman"
59 Burst 9-1953 "Claw"

I must say, for all the apprehension of traveling with this flock, it was great fun.
I am thinking of doing something similar at Arlington, although I should bring different Bursts just for the variety. Change a few Juniors, too.

Great shots.

Do you take them to sell them or is it a display sort of thing ? Is the place covered in guitar geeks wanting to play a real burst ?

 

[Tom Wittrock]

These were strickly for display only.
There were plenty of curious people, but it was never like the booth with Joe Satriani.
People were much more willing to learn something about these things than in years gone by. There have always been vintage guys checking out Bursts and such, but there were more "neophytes" asking and learning, rather than saying stupid things. One guy even went over to JK to get BOTB. And, several Sunburt posters were picked up by "contributors" to the LPF. I'd like to think a few new viewers and members were generated too. :dude

 

[lasher]

they're gorgeous. thanks for bringing them, your booth always had people standing around talking is why i didn't stop and chat,,,i was going to gift you the ultimate TONE pick. maybe at arlington. :lolspin

The GT with the black bits look different but very cool. First one I have seen.

The juniors and specials look great.
