Wow, that's almost unbelievable and definatly a one of a kind find. What's a shame is that it will probably be put in some lawyers vault as an investment piece and not played by a musician who would love it.

Norlin clownburst = hideous yellow tear drop, edge grain disappears under the red.
Mint '60 cherry burst = amber tear drop, edge grain is completely visible...

Hehe, i just had that pic saved and wanted to use it. Pulling your strings son
 
You think it's mint because nobody plays it? Because it sounds like crap? Back in the 60's nobody thought anything of LPs. I wonder why this one was kept under the bed all its life...

You do have a point here.
 
They changed the dye in 60. They didn't fade like the 58 and 59 do. Early 60s did because they changed later in 60. That said, it could be early 60 and not have faded as clean as that one is, but I dont think so, when they changed they went to a brighter red like that one is. I knew a guy a few years ago that bought a 58 in even better condition than that one. Only had one small finish check. It sounded phenomenal. Sometimes guitars never got played, Just like now. Someone bought it to learn on, then never did.

That one is gorgeous. :inlove: :inlove: :inlove:

It's a known fact that extreme cold is not good for nitrocellulose finishes.

:D
 
Someone who has money will probably buy it... isn't that how capitalism works?

My guess is that the original owner was smart and said "this is going to be worth something one day." Closet classic fo sho.

The added density of the wings improves performance.....
