is it just me ........................

[eSGEe]

or does ANYONE ELSE find it ODLY interesting (and smells like marketing bull) that one of the TOP DAWGS at Gibson
just HAPPENS TO HAVE the "sibling" of "greeny" .,........I mean they are (this is at least the 6th article Ive seen) MILKING THIS thing to the hilt.............

Metallica’s Kirk Hammett and Gibson’s Cesar Gueikian share the story behind Greeny’s ‘59 Les Paul sibling

We all know the story of Greeny, the ‘burst owned by Peter Green, Gary Moore and now Hammett. But there is another, and it resides in the Gibson Brand President's personal collection…

IF (IF) its even true serial numbers
92208
&
92204
(where did the others go??? or were they CRAP and scrapped???? -- or will we hear MORE of this story when 92207-6-5 APEAR miraculously .....hmm lets see....... I bet Joe Bonamassa has one..... and ?>???? )


maybe I need to find another guitar built on the same day in the same factory and claim ITS THE COUSIN of GREENY .......... or one 100 numbers off could be the illegitimated love child of GREENY !......

come the "F" on

oh wait I have a 2014 LPJ -- its GREENIES long lost ....... uhm great great great great great great great great grandson ... yeah THATS IT --- I want 1 MILLION DOLLARS!

Hmmm, Gibson claims to have built 643 Lester standards in 59.
Funny how many thousands now exist. Some fukery appears to be going on.

The article said the serial numbers in between were amps.

I know they were offering a pretty good amount for the missing ledger from 59 to 60. I'd dare to say to collectors that book would be worth as much or even more than the guitars listed in its pages .

If the ledger is missing:
then somebody took it, and probably threw it in the trash.
They were trying to hide something.

Only a certain few number of people are going to have access to the ledger to start with.
I mean think about it. This isn't a public library book.

Yes…… yes it is.

I agree it was probably taken by whoever was responsible for moving them from the kalamazoo plant to nashville , I can't see what they would be hiding though aside from the actual number of bursts manufactured that year , because at the time in 1985 ,the vintage guitar market as we know it was still in it's beginning stages.

A. Intentionally thrown into the trash.
B. Accidentally thrown into the trash.
C. You're not going to find it. The ledger was destroyed or buried in the Kalamazoo landfill.

It has to be an inside job.
There is no ledger waiting to be discovered at the Goodwill bookstore....

The "search" for the ledger is a publicity stunt.
It's folklore, created by the publicity department.

People at Gibson know full well that the ledger will never be found. They already know that some Gibson employee dumped it long ago.

It probably showed transistor amps being made and shipped out the door and it was intentionally destroyed...............................
