Former Gary Moore ’58 Burst On eBay!
Calling Ronnie Montrose!
Are you a diehard Les Paul collector with a spare $300,000 or more? Then you’re in luck! A ’58 ‘burst les Paul, once owned by Gary Moore (but NOT now owned by him), is for sale on eBay.
Here’s some info from the listing:
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a vintage Les Paul that has a history that is traceable back to the 1960s AND was owned by Gary Moore. This guitar is in spectacular condition and has made appearances in numerous magazines and books. The color is fantastic and the top has a very pleasant mild flame. Guitar plays and sounds fabulous. I personally dealt with Gary Moore’s management and tech to acquire this guitar for a collector in 1994….
This Les Paul was used for all of Gary Moore’s After Hours CD photo shoot. It was used for Gary’s 8X10 B&W glossy photos. It was used in two Gary Moore videos: “Cold Day in Hell” and “Since I Met You Baby.” This guitar has been featured in NUMEROUS books and magazines. (i.e., “The Electric Guitar, An Illustrated History,” pages 93 and 147.)
Notable Provenance

There you go. Got coin?
(No, this is not the ’59 burst that Ronnie Montrose wants “back” from Gary. And I am not vouching for the eBay lister’s info, just posting it.)
