Guitarseh Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Got my new Sustain Block Sunburst today. Unbelievable!! Looks great, sounds great, feels great (perfect neck), is great. The color (trans-purple) turned out even better than I had hoped. The only problem is that today is my wife's birthday, so playing this all night would be like Homer giving Marge the bowling ball with his name on it for her birthday. The good news is that I have tomorrow off Thanks to Greg for making it happen. MarkB Edited to call it Sunburst instead of Special FM (which is unfortunately what is on the certificate, sigh)
BCR Greg Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Glad you like it. As I said, 100% money back on that guitar!!!!!
BTMN Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Mark, Very Nice! Isn't that really a Sunburst like of days gone by more than a Special FM. Even in the old days,'77-'82 the only differance between the Special and the Sunburst was the binding IIRC. OMHO.
Mobster Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Mark, it's beautiful.I love the purple color (owning several purple guitars myself)....enjoy the guitar.
BadgerDave Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I love it. Perfect blend of old school and new Hamer design.Careful, though. There appears to be a sock monkey sneaking up behind you.
bruce919 Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Very nice guitar there. The color look great. Great looking top. Congats!!
silentman Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Call it a Sunburst dammit! (I know you had to place the order as a bound Special FM). Anyhoo, I like it.
hardheartedbill Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 sweet, the Sunburst returns! that MUST be the name
kurtsstuff Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 God you guys make me sick.....more ooohs and ahhhs than at the first sight of someones brand spankin new human baby....lol!!
Guitarseh Posted April 1, 2005 Author Posted April 1, 2005 Thanks for the compliments. Greg helped out with advice on some of the choices (including the binding) and Mobster's purple was certainly an inspiration (although purple happens to be my fave too). I definitely had the Sunburst vibe in mind, so I caved in to the pressure and edited my original post Badger Dave, don;t worry, the sock monkey is tame. Elduave, sorry I missed you today, but I'll bring it on my next trip. Kurt, here's one for you:
