RacerX Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Greetings Hamerites, (and Hamerettes) This is a 87 SS1 that I recently picked up on Feebay. After I won the auction, a deal on something else worked out. So I really should move this one along before I get attached to it. Here's the details:All Black. 24frets, 24-3/4 scale. Rosewood board with crowns!! Stadum logo!! Thin neck profile. 2 single coil size OBL pups and a Duncan JB trembucker in the bridge position. Original Floyd Rose. When I got the guitar it had chrome knobs and a double white Duncan Full Shred bridge pup. Sounded great, but looked stupid. So I dropped in a trembucker I had lying around and added the black knobs. Much better lookin' now! The guitar was filthy and had sticker residue on it which I cleaned up. There are dings and scratches that show up (hey, it's black) and the only real downside is there are 2 extra strap button locations (heel & 1/2 way to the top horn). These would be pretty easy to fix, but I'll leave it to the next guy, just in case one of those locations works for ya. NO cracks, NO breaks. Truss rod works properly, good frets, nice tight crown inlays. Really low action, stays in tune great, 2 original trem arms (2 different bend angles), and a slammed but original hardshell case. I paid $600/shipped for it and added the JB and some work so $675/shipped ups gnd is about break even for me. I'm near Chicago if you want to check it out in person. Here's a pic and a link to more. Thanks!Mark.http://new.photos.yahoo.com/onemark1@sbcgl...460762335484541

Jimbilly Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Maybe Serial will chime in, but I don't think there's more than a couple of 'none more black' SS1s. You guys who've emailed me about mine, here's your chance.
