Since I don’t belong to a Les Paul forum, I’ll post this tidbit here because I’m dying to tell someone. A little birdie has told me that a dead mint, practically unplayed, one-owner 1959 burst has just surfaced. Not documented in any of the Burst books, this is one of those that was unaccounted for that everyone fantasized about maybe still being out there somewhere in somebody’s closet. Mint case and hang tags even. Absolutely flawless. Keep an eye on Slash, Joe Walsh, and Joe Bonamassa, one of them is about to add this guitar to their collection for a measley $600,000. I’m sure there will be a few magazine articles coming out in the near future about it once the dust settles.

Anyone who hasn’t tried an Eastman guitar is missing out on probably the best Gibson-style guitars for the money on the market. Near-custom-shop quality for less than a standard USA model. Just picked this one up and I’m beside myself at how killer of a guitar it is.

@Fadez I haven’t talked to my buddy this week but I believe Joe Walsh is in the process of buying it. I’ll ask him the next time I talk to him, I’ll probably see him next week.

There’s a new Superblack Selvage in the works that I’ve been waiting for for at least two years. It’s finally in production so fingers crossed that it won’t be much longer.

My current primary rotation

These three get the most attention these days but I have a few heavily modded Gretsch Electromatics and a couple PRS CE-22’s as well.

@Jett129 just straight up loud-ass rock and roll, as it should be.

BOOM

These are my “warm day” jeans, my “hot day” jeans are my 16oz 666’s which I swear are noticeably lighter and more breathable than the 142 denim somehow. Love this denim though, looks like it’s going to fade beautifully.

@Denimminer great pics, I need to get mine back into rotation. I’ve been focusing on my 666S-21’s lately.

Any eta for a restock on these in the slim tapered cut?

orders for all cuts in this denim are with factories, but no ETDs on them yet

Any updates on a restock?

@JunkPants yeah a respected vintage guitar dealer is brokering the sale so it’s legit. Vince Gill is also in the mix now, I’m curious to see who ends up with it.

@popvulture I have pics but I’m sworn to keeping them to myself right now. It is literally mint. No fading. No finish checking! The guitar looks new, the case looks new, every hang tag is in the case and they all look new. It has the original strap that looks new. Completely bonkers.

@popvulture said in Guitars anyone???:

That’s pretty wild — curious to know if any of the red is still intact. Maybe so if it’s been sitting in a case all these years.

Been waiting for these for literally years at this point and due to a recent job change I’m currently broke.
