And the question of how many are still out there waiting to be discovered is often couched in terms of these missing guitars "collecting dust in somebody's attic." So while it's a total long-shot, a Burst of that vintage in decent/unmodified shape is worth at least $100K and many are worth much more. Just sayin'....
I suggested the same thing. I don't know if he took my advice or not. I'll look and see if I still have the picture.
