OMG, Vic DaPra just posted these. Original 1959 Gibson Les Paul Sunburst guitars with insane tops. Me Like!

How the hell do you keep a guitar that pristine for nearly 60 years!!!??? Crazy beautiful!
 
Okay, I can't count. "For over 50 years" would be more like it. But still crazy! :D
 
\:D/ They are gorgeous! I am wondering how he kept them in mint condition for so long. He must have babied them like crazy
 
I am sure these were under someones bed for that long and then surfaced. Thats how it works when they are uncirculated. Lots of guitars went in the closet during Vietnam and never came out.
 
Those are gorgeous! But, I would take a Bartlett LP replica, a Porsche GT3RS 4.0, and a condo for a mistress. Oops, wife just said, "no mistress" so change the condo to a Ferrari Challenge car ...... and a couple of more Charvels. :D
 
Weird, all the pics I've seen of real 59's had tops that were much more subtle.

Awesome, those are probably well north of $200K.

I'd say well north of $500k
 
We used to hang out at Vic's shop and get fingerpints all over the Ibby's and Jacksons while his brother sold bootleg cassettes out of the front room. I can't believe those two knuckleheads are now world-renowned!
 
I was expecting an old Hondo and a Hello Kitty...but those LPs are ok too.
 
If I had the dough I'd buy both, and drill em up and had a FLoyds plopped in them then give them to Kage and Ralph and post it all over the TGP and watch em squirm.
