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 :

All original, early shimmed bridge, long/thin headstock w/ Grover Bullseyes, fairly chunky neck profile.

It's been a favorite of mine for a long time.

 
What a great thread! Thought I should post them here as well. /emoticons/default_tongue.png

This is my '79. It would be wrong to call it a "player". More like "PLAYED". It's been mine since I bought it new in 1979. Always the go-to guitar, sets me on the right path. It's thrashed and trashed, there's places on the neck where I've worn the paint right off. Amazingly, never been broken! Now I wonder where that '78 Sunburst is that I traded into GC in the early 1990s?

Hey ...... nice one.

Here's my '79 Trans Red, now corrected with original pickups.

Talking about being PLAYED!!!

Here's a 1978 Sunburst B&C. Sounds great, plays great but was badly abused.

Great thread! Ken's Autumn light image inspired me to take some pictures of my '78 Sunburst. Thanks for the inspiration!
