A 2004 NOS Monaco Superpro and a 1977 Sunburst 😁

Early REO. Richrath ripping it up

Snowblind, specifically from Live At Last. The second of feedback at the beginning - how much gain was Iommi using ?!?!? His guitar tone is filthy !! The opening grand fanfare, the tense verse riff. Ozzy enthusiastically shouting COCAINE !! https://youtu.be/A57eaK3cZ8A?si=_U4CJCKahH9RzIdg

Metal Mickey just keeps getting better. His lazy, controlled, effortless vibrato is amazing. I live in hope that he will tour Australia. Uli Jon Roth just toured here for the first time, so you never know

I finally had time to install Josh's Hamer/DiMarzio PAFs into the '79. As well as looking the part, they sound fantastic - cleans are crisp and clear, and bitey with overdrive. I made use of the 4th pot (installed before I got the guitar) as a neck tone control. I'm looking forward to gigging with this guitar in a couple of weeks. '79 Sunbursts have gorgeous tops and colour - they exude warmth.

Tasty, I really like the tops on the '79's.

Factory tour video from 2009.

1977 Sunburst which I bought in 1986. Still my baby.

Looking back at this thread, the 79's seem to have exceptional tops, and fantastic colouring.

Very nice whiskeyzulu, they had some great tops in '79. #70034 - love it.

Love that second pic Gene !

9 0621 Piezo saddles are now gone, replaced by sustain block saddles thanks to serial. Extra pot and switch are now redundant.

Very nice !! Interestingly, I have a 79 with a pencil neck.

Simple, functional, looks good. What more could you ask for !! Love it !!
