The Beauty Of The Burst - Gibson Sunburst Les Pauls from '58 to '60
By Yasuhiko Iawanade
Published by Hal Leonard Corporation 1998 1st English Edition

" The Beauty of the Burst is a renowned book by Yasuhiko Iwanade that explores the history, craftsmanship, and allure of the Gibson Les Paul Standard, particularly the "Burst" models produced between 1958 and 1960. The book provides an in-depth look at these highly sought-after electric guitars, detailing their unique features, finishes, and tonal qualities. Through high-quality photography and expert analysis, Iwanade examines the wood grain patterns, sunburst finishes, and subtle differences that make each instrument a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. The book also delves into the development of the Les Paul, discussing its evolution and the reasons behind the discontinuation of the original Burst models.

Beyond its technical analysis, The Beauty of the Burst celebrates the cultural and musical significance of these guitars. It highlights legendary musicians—such as Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and Billy Gibbons—who have helped cement the Les Paul Burst as one of the most iconic electric guitars in history. The book serves as both a collector's guide and a tribute to the artistry behind these instruments, offering insights into their value and rarity in the vintage guitar market. With stunning visuals and expert commentary, it remains an essential resource for guitar enthusiasts, luthiers, and music historians alike."
