Re: Silverburst Sucsess!

I had the opportunity to buy one of those back in 85. A guy got in a car accident and couldn't play anymore, and was selling off his stuff. He had an 81 JCM800 half stack that I bought for $500, an antigua strat that I bought for $400 a month or two later, and the silverburst Les Paul that I JUST missed out on for another $500 just after I bought the strat. I already had my 75 Custom and wanted a strat so I bought that first. What a stunning guitar man, congratulations.

I saw the Outlaws in 1980 at the Fountain Casino in NJ, and either Henry or Hughie was using one of these. Don't remember if it had the trem or not.

Re: Silverburst Sucsess!

i was told that it was factory...i know there were quite a few 80s Gibsons that had Kahlers on them

I remember in the early 90's I used to get the Mandolis Bros catalogue from Staten Island, that had the full Gibson retail price listings... Back then it was always listed that you could get a Les Paul with a Kahler trem, but it was a special order that you rarely saw in stores

Wow... fantastic looking guitar and it's a shame I haven't got the cash to buy when it goes under the hammer!. Congrats.

Swap the tuners out for black Grovers, and get some black speed knobs.

Awesome, though, were it me, I'd go chrome for that classic silverburst LPC look. I love the necks on all the 81s I've owned, too, but the weird cutaway always threw me off.

Re: Silverburst Sucsess!

I hate you slightly less, this time, since it's not an awesome Heritage, and it has a Kahler on it.

I agree with this - but I gotta match to the Kahler...

Re: Silverburst Sucsess!

Awesome, I may actually have to buy that one from you in a couple of months when you put it up for sale in the trading post.

You mean a couple of weeks................. it's there now!

That's not much of a surprise. I guess that gold top will be there in a week.

At least if you ever want to sell a Heritage, you don't need to take pics of it. Just pull up Brentrocks' profile and go to 'Find all posts by...' and there'll be a set of pics in there from where he once owned and sold the same guitar.

Hilarious.
