• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

An Interesting Picture

Tom Wheelers Book American Guitars ? The one with the cover photo of the Brock Burst ? Talk about making me drool as a teenager over 40 years ago !
me too! that burst! i used to think..somewhere in the world..not in my town. haha
i actually did score a really flamed 59 around 92. i broke even when i sold it ..i really really needed some money for a real estate deal. i have a pic somewhere i want to post someday when i find it. had a 60 around the same time with some curl, i bought it drove 2 hours north and made 5k on it. i heard it sold a few years ago for 180k i sold it for 13k back then, i wanted badly to keep it but half my buy money was borrowed. :confused:
