24 pages.

Original first English-language edition of The Beauty of the ’Burst by Yasuhiko Iwanade, originally published in Japan in 1996, with the English edition copyrighted 1998 and released by Hal Leonard in 1999. This landmark reference celebrates the legendary 1958–1960 Gibson sunburst Les Paul Standards with spectacular full-color photography, individual guitar profiles, serial numbers, construction details, maple figuring and finish analysis, plus famous Burst players including Billy Gibbons and Joe Walsh. With a foreword by Gibson legend Ted McCarty, this remains an essential reference for serious Les Paul and vintage Gibson collectors.

There is some light wear on the edges of the front and rear covers.  Please take a look at the photos to determine condition, let us know if you have any questions and as always, we thank you for stopping by!
