Steve Haynie Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 You have to play those standing up or you might punch a hole in the upholstery on your couch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biz Prof Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Looking at the photo of those two specimens, I realized that although I love the look of boomers on almost anything Hamer, they really do look most natural on the Scepter body shape. A perfect match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prototype78 Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 What pickups would you suggest for the black and red one? It has EMG 81/58 right now, but I don't like them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadroller Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 You know, it's not every day you see two Scepters together. In fact, I never have. Let's look again, shall we?  On 7/12/2018 at 8:09 AM, Prototype78 said: Not in the best cosmetic shape, but great players 😊  Yep, twice the awesome!

Scarab85 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 That's very awesome! Just curious, where were you able to find them? Was it a local sale, word of mouth, or somewhere online? Great score. Anyone know how many of those Scepters they made? You don't really ever see them for sale very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomteriffic Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I think that's only the second white/black Scepter I've ever seen. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prototype78 Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 I'm looking for a capacitor like this to put in the black & red one. Anyone knows what type/value this is, and where I could find one? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTMN Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Nice score! Looks like they are missing the tip like mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where? If common, guitar parts online. If not, some place like Mouser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynic Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I’ve got a couple at .047mfd if that’s what you need. The lack of black stripe on yours makes me wonder if yours may be a .022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
