I'm a huge Boston fan but it was a very "off" night for Brad and the sound guys. It was just one of those nights. As a musician, we've ALL had one (or more) of those :-) I saw them again on the 3rd Stage tour in '88 and they were dead ON.

I saw that tour in St. Louis. Sammy's band was REALLY good and sounded great, Boston's mix sounded like ass. They were playing well but between that singer and the mix... uggh. They didn't have 14 guitar players in the band to cover everything and it was rough. My first show was the Alice...

I just looked at Serial's database and counted 9 Sunbursts in 1978 (Mine is 8-0131), were there REALLY that few, or is that just what's been registered here? I knew it was rare, but seriously, 9 made that year?

I was playing my '78 Sunburst the other day and was wondering just how many of them have made it all these years intact? I'm sure many of them were trashed over the years for whatever reason. Does anybody know the production numbers for Sunbursts in 1978? How many can still be accounted for do...

I believe that here on the HFC, it is customary to offer $350, and I'd like to be the first. :-) Seriously, I might be a player on it if the price is right. -=RkR=-

My '87 Jem7RB has held up nicely and is THE #1 shredder in the collection for tone and playability, so I guess it's all a matter of opinion, eh? +1 for Ibanez

I've had a half dozen Gibson V's and a couple of LP's over the years, and a couple of Strats. All the Gibson stuff got sold off in the mid 80's when I discovered the Floyd'ed super strats. I call my '78 Sunburst "The Les Paul Killer" because it *IS*. 1 Strat left, 1 Hamer, and a PILE of...

Once this gets going again, if there is still room I have a track I did on my '78 Sunburst I'd be happy to toss into the mix.

Hi everyone! I haven't been on the board in a while but I LOVE it when I come back and find a new Sunburst appreciation thread. Here's my $0.02 : 1978 8-0131 All original, early shimmed bridge, long/thin headstock w/ Grover Bullseyes, fairly chunky neck profile. It's been a favorite of...

Meshuggah, I LOVE the dark burst... That's gorgeous.

My Brother-In-Law got a G&L ASAT and a Roland Microcube amp for $75. For the PAIR. Bastard.

Congrats on the '78! It looks like an EARLY early '78 from the shimmed bridge, There aren't many of those still around I don't think. Here's mine (8-0131) What's the serial # on that one of yours? It's definately a rare bird!

I never met bill but have enjoyed his posts over the years. I have a couple of his songs in my "HFC" mp3 library, He was a killer player and will be missed by us all.

Since we're doing sunshine shots, here's my '78 Sunburst: One more, for good measure... -=RkR=-
