Sunburst appreciation thread

Please pardon me, complete beginner's question, but: what years did the Sunbursts come with a Gibson-style bridge as shown throughout this thread? And how does such a Sunburst model differ from a Studio - did the two models overlap?

Hi,

this is my Sunburst 1979 with Crown Inlays. Serial number 9 0751.

All the best

Sorry, the add of the foto doesn't work. I don't know what my mistake is?

This arrived to me today. 1991 Sunburst that looks in so many ways like it just came off the sales floor. What a beauty. Really.

I'll post some fresh pics when I get some time over the weekend and after she gets a little special cleaning and care.

Also, a public thank you to JohnnyThunders for agreeing to sell me this and getting it to me so quickly and safely. A fine HFC-er.

I'm still waiting for a 78 Sunburst so I hope there is one out there still.

God, I love this guitar. Plays like a dream, roars like a lion and then purrs like a kitten. One of the best buys I ever made. Another thanks to Travis for letting her go.

Wow, that's a beauty!

Quick question for caliban- did you rotate the neck PUP for some reason, or is that an aftermarket mod?

Posted

That was the way it was configured when I purchased the guitar used. A previous owner had also installed a Super Distortion in the bridge position, so I got a period correct pickup to replace the SD from BCR Greg. At least it wasn't routed for a Kahler or something crazy like that. :lol:

Shitty shit. These guitars create lust. ^_^

Bob, I think I've said this before, but if you are EVER willing to part with her, please hit me up. I absolutely love that Sunburst!
