About this product
Product Information
(Book). Finally, the long-awaited English edition of this historic Japanese book is here! The Beauty of the 'Burst pays tribute to Gibson's magnificent Sunburst Les Pauls made between 1958 and 1960, the most highly prized solidbody electric guitars ever. The magnitude of their value is directly 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 throughout; the guitars of famous players; a foreword by Ted McCarty; a bio of the author, world renowned collector Yasuhiko Iwanade; and the Science of the Burst section with over 30 pages of detailed reference facts on every facet of the guitar, including colors, wood figure, pick-ups, hardware and qualities of voice. This may be the closest guitarists will ever be able to get to these incredibly collectible beauties! 216 pages, 8-1/2 x 11 SoftcoverProduct Identifiers

Quality print, end to end of breathtaking Les Paul guitars !!
If you love guitars and the legendary Les Paul in particular, then this is a MUST HAVE without doubt. The photographs are stunning which capture the full beauty of these instruments which is what it is all about. I have no doubt you will spend hours thumbing through the pages drooling over these guitars. Well worth every penny ( I paid £19.99 including P & P ) well chuffed !!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

This might be the single best book written on Les Paul ‘Bursts
I have many guitars, and many guitar books. I even have several books devoted to the Les Paul. But THIS book is different. It devotes each page to a specific serial number guitar, starting in ‘58 through ‘60. Color photos on every depict these guitars, and there are interesting background sections on “flatsawn” compared to “riftsawn” maple, more like this. Details are abundant about these guitars. I bought the paperback which is easier to hold and read, but this book deserves a beautify hardcover edition, which I’m sure it had when originally released.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
