WE HAVE BEEN ASKED BY MANY BUYERS IF WE WOULD SPLIT THE GUITAR AND SELL AS PARTS
IE BODY , PICK UPS ETC, WHICH WE WOULD CERTAINLY CONSIDER DOING.


That's horrifying to me. An all original '59 being torn up for parts. Unless it was damaged beyond repair, that just seems like a sin.

I have a '57 refinned Tele, and several dealers have told me that it's more valuable parted out. To most of them, it's just commerce...

The boys at the LPF feel that the guitar has major undisclosed issues.

And they should know, since most them also have many undisclosed issues.

It's seems insane to even consider tearing it apart. It's hard to believe they would make more money that way. But I guess if someone had a treasured 59 of there own that need a part they might break out the big bucks.

You do not rip up a '59 Burst for parts. If I had my way, I'd prosecute anyone who tore up that guitar. That's sacrilege. Aynbody who says, "It's just a guitar" knows absolutely nothing about original Sunburst Les Pauls.
