There's an identical one on Nashville Craigslist for $300, case included.

Hopefully, he still has it if you're interested. I don't like the burst myself.

What makes you think these are rare? AFAIK it was a standard finish.

I think that burst is ugly. Looks like an idled painter didn't care about the shapes of the horns: let's just make 'em completely black

I like those kinds of bursts on LP juniors and Rippers/Grabbers.

That is just so wrong and I am personally offended, by that. It is one of Gibson's classic most beloved finishes. Its a tear jerker.

I love mine and its one of my favorite finishes.

I am so hurt by that. Where's the tear icon?

That finish looks like a tear, kinda.

Dont get me wrong, I love burst finishes! But they have to be executed well.
Not just a big wide black mask over a single color.
The gradient has to be smooth and subtle. With lots of nuances in the colors.
