The Gibson
Les Paul Standard
1958-1960 is one of the
greatest designs to
emerge from Gibson. At
first, it was little
appreciated and quickly
discontinued. However,
the UK blues explosion of
the 1960s changed
everything and these
guitars would begin to
shape the music for
generations to come. The
USA quickly picked up
this new direction and
players such as Mike
Bloomfield and Duane
Allman then used the
Bursts to great effect.
Demand for the guitar
began in earnest in the
1970s and they now fetch
astronomical prices. The
Gibson Custom Shop is
working diligently on
many aspects of their
historic Les Pauls
bringing them as close to
the originals as
possible. Not only did
the players make this the
most collectable guitar
in the vintage market but
collectors and weekend
players played a huge
role in its cimb to the
top. Visually, it is
probably one of the most
beautiful solid body
guitars ever made. Burst
Believer V Serial Number
Guide is a thank you to
all the fantastic
supporters of the Burst
Believers series.
Features gorgeous
full-color photos
throughout of guitars and
some of their famous
owners, including Joe
Walsh, Keith Richards,
Peter Frampton, Gordon
Kennedy, Vince Gill, and
many more.
