cmatthes

They ARE the best straps out there! I have entirely too many as it is, but Mitch is correct - they rarely discount except for maybe 1-2 times a year.

They offered a run of those a year or so ago, and you can order that via the M2M program.

I'll try to find better resolution shots - I took all of these either on my 35mm or digital Nikons.

Think Epiphone, but not as good.

Spruce?

No - that came after 1998/99.

I'll have to dig through the archives or see if I can Wayback Machine the now-defunct Rocketeria website.

This one has the ebony board, but that awful gold hardware! 😂 I'm still wondering where the satin black M-3 with black plastics/metal and ebony board ended up? Or the trans black Monaco with DuoTone bridge/electronics (and Ebony) landed...

Checked it out today. Cool guitar, decent weight and overall in decent shape, but some standard wear & tear - not a museum piece, and probably 30-50% higher than I'd think it would sell for, but Atomic deals, and made some really solid deals for several people I was there with today.

Could also have been an Insurance settlement quote?

There are also dealer runs of Eclipse guitars with HBs.

It's a good thing the brand name isn't in huge letters on the headstock or anything...

Need to try that for an amp that's been sitting and has gotten scratchy!

You're selling that for $1,000?

That was an aftermarket mod.

Every single original (veneer top) Sunburst ('77-'85) has a one piece top.

Kind of "The Ultimate" from that era! Not mine, but formerly Steve Brown's and owned by a member here:

It's also NOT the Marble finish. That's the Black & White Granite, which was a stock finish. Marble was an O'Connor custom graphic with a hefty upcharge.

It's a '96. Usually, the light-colored rosewood board is the dead giveaway, but it also has several other characteristics that were changed after the over to New Hartford in '97.

It was, yes.

All of this.

You are both worthy and notoriously light in the Bass department. Man up, Badger!!! 😂

The FBIV cases had interior padding/form fit.
