Hi friends,
I need some help for my sunburst. Which pickup works good in the bridge position for buesrock. I am still looking ...
Current I use a seymour duncan JB Model SH4, who’s a little bit too aggressive, I think. Thanks!

 
If you like the JB but it is just to aggressive, I would try the Custom 5 or the Custom Custom. You'll get tons of suggestions but the best thing is to just buy a couple of different ones and try them all out. Jim Wagner Pickups are also a good choice.

I would start with the Custom 5.

hello friends,

[SIZE=12.7272720336914px]finally, i bought my first Hamer Sunburst 78, s/n 8 0251, big dots, long headstock.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12.7272720336914px]i did not score it but very happy to find one, here in Europe.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12.7272720336914px]it has non original tuners and bridge and i think get it back to stock will not be easy..I will keep looking for original parts though.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12.7272720336914px]THE SOUND is huge, very comfortable neck, lot of sustain with very low action.[/SIZE]

Early long headstock 78.

Nice one.

Bullseye Grovers appear from time to time but plain backed ones are easy to find.

Place a wanted ad in the for sale section here for a 78 sustain block bridge, this is the best place to look for one or a good alternative.
