The Gibson 'Burst: 1958-1960

by Jay Scott, Vic DaPra

(Guitar). A musical instrument or a cultural icon? Certainly, the Gibson Les Paul "Sunburst" Standard has become the single most desirable and collectable electric guitar ever made. The late '50s middle-of-the-road guitar emerges as the turn-of-the-century Holy Grail. With over 300 'Bursts shown and 16 pages of full color photos, this is the book for all collectors. Also includes a 1958, '59, and '60 Sunburst Les Paul serial number list. "Since the first publication of this book til today, the Sunburst has continued to inspire me and new generations of musicians. Thank you, Les." Jimmy Page
