This review is from: Beauty of the 'Burst : Gibson Sunburst Les Pauls from '58 to '60 (Sheet music)
I have seen this book in a Dallas guitar shop. It was the Japanese version but the pictures speak in all languages. Beautiful full color pictures of the front, back, sides, and headstock of vintage late 50's Les Paul Standards. Each guitar is featured in a two page layout accompanied with extensive liner notes pertaining to each guitar. This book is a must for Les Paul fanatics.

Great for casual reading, or in-depth info!, April 27, 2006
This review is from: Beauty of the 'Burst : Gibson Sunburst Les Pauls from '58 to '60 (Sheet music)
This book is a must for anyone that appreciates the '58-'60 burst. It contains anything you would ever need to know about Les Pauls from this classic era. I purchased a spiral bound cover for my coffee table, which lays flat for easy reading. I had to get the hard cover, though, since they were limited to 1000 copies (I own copy #69), and include an extra profile not found in the softcover and spiral bound editions. This is about Ed King (Strawberry Alarm Clock, Lynyrd Skynyrd), and his '59 that was stolen. He did get it back 20 years later, after seeing it in the hardcover edition of this book. I am not sure why it was removed from the softcover or reprint editions.
