ARM OF HAMER Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Well.................here is another I now own ..............got it here yesterday by UPS International Mail.I showed this to Steve [sERIAL] before I plunked down the $$$ and he approved so............that was good enough for me and now its mine. Lots of play wear,checking etc,etc.and it does have the original case which I had to do some repairs to but now its fine.It has a non original neck PUP ring mounted in the bridge position which is too shallow so of course the PUP sits high. Thats the only issue that I need to correct............. it certainly plays great and sounds wonderful just as is................ everything else works perfectly. Wish I could take credit for finding this great guitar but I didn't............. someone else found it for me. He emailed me about this guitar and I thought oh yeah right thinking it was a import model or perhaps a "Special" but then he sent me the photos and my jaw dropped................there it was! Its a "GOOD" one............... Have a look!
ARM OF HAMER Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 Thanks everyone! I looked so long for another one of these in Black and it was VERY tough to find one....................unless you happen to know where to look.....................right Ken?
serial Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 It's a shame that I only have a set of NOS period-correct Dimarzio pickup rings...
Disturber Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Who was it here on the forum that has been looking for a B&C black 78-79 Sunburst for three years at least..... ? Nevermind Congrats. Great score!
RichRS6 Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Congratulations on the end to an epic quest.A real beauty, it must sound and play really well, guitars with that sort of wear have usually been played a lot plus you wont have to be worried about taking to a gig.
dgstandard Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Congrats Arm of Hamer....you deserve a beauty!!!!!
mrjamiam Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Obviously I need to pick up my goodness game so that Santa will be as good to me as he was to you. Congratulations and enjoy!
ARM OF HAMER Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 Thanks! Santa was VERY good to me giving me this one I must say.

lang Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 That guitar looks like it has some serious mojo. I have my own black 1979 sunburst (but not bound and crowned), and it's an amazing guitar . Congrats!
