currypowder Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I've decided to let go of one of my two 79 Sunbursts. Given I've gone hog wild on some purchases lately, I'm going to keep the "lesser" of the two (though that's not really correct, they're both phenomenal guitars) and offer my Black Bound & Crowned Sunburst. It's certainly not a pristine example, but is pretty clean and in good shape nonetheless. The "issues" that move this guitar away from 100% original are: At some point in its life, someone installed 3 mini switches below the pickup selector. They were removed, the holes filled and refinished by BCR Greg (this all happened before I owned the guitar). It's a good repair, but not invisible. I took the best picture I could. It doesn't have a huge neck, more of a medium carve. I took some measurements. The width of the neck is a hair over 1 5/8" at the nut and 2" at the 12th fret. The depth is 13/16 at the nut and 7/8 at the 12th fret. The pickups, I believe, are original but they could just be period correct Dimarzios. The previous owner had the guitar wired so that only the first 2 control knobs work for a master volume and master tone. It's been refretted with Dunlop 6105 wire and I had a bone nut cut and installed at the same time. I know it sounds like a lot, but it remains a fairly clean example of an early Sunburst and plays and sounds just as you would expect. Original case is included, it's a little beat up and the bottom latch is broken. But the hinges and other latches are solid. $2,000 shipped and paypal'd - NOW $1,800 Will consider trades. I'm not looking for anything in particular, though. Maybe a cool Studio Custom.
