(Book). After all, the long-awaited English edition of this historic Japanese book is here! The Wonderful thing about the ‘Burst pays tribute to Gibson’s magnificent Sunburst Les Pauls made between 1958 and 1960, probably the most highly prized solidbody electric guitars ever. The magnitude in their value is immediately related to their look (outrageous wood patterns, or “figured” timber), since non-players are paying top dollar for them. The book features lavish full-color photos of these beautiful instruments all over; the guitars of famous players; a foreword by Ted McCarty; a bio of the writer, world renowned collector Yasuhiko Iwanade; and the “Science of the Burst” section with over 30 pages of detailed reference facts on each and every facet of the guitar, including colors, wood figure, pick-ups, hardware and qualities of “voice.” This can be the closest guitarists will ever be capable to get to these incredibly collectible beauties! 216 pages, 8-1/2 x 11 Softcover
