School Me On My Silverburst

[TSJMajesty]

So wait, yours hasn’t turned green?

Yes it has.

 

[Mongillo19]

Yes it has.

Do you have pics of it

 

[TSJMajesty]

Do you have pics of it

What is your oldest guitar?

I'll put the question both ways. 1. What is your oldest guitar by date of production? 2 What is your oldest guitar by how long you have owned it? My oldest guitar by production is one in my group of Hondo Deluxe guitars. I don't have an exact date on any of them but they were all made between...

I can't explain how sexy Silverburst are.

 

[Achilles]

Never mind the burst, look at all that awesomely aged creme binding!

Whatever you do, Tom, please get that motherfooking EMG the fuck out of there ASAP!!!

 

[FuzzyAce]

She's a beauty for sure!
Seriously, just put a cream Super Distortion in there and call it a day. Cream pickup in the neck pos. too. I can do it for you.
Screw original unless you're just dead set on that.

Nope. Nope. Nope. Them there are fighting words, FA!



Chrome Covers or get the fuck out!!

The Adam Jones Epiphone looks like a generic of this!

How did you wire it to have EMG with 25k pots and the regular humbucker 500k ? Particularly in the middle position.

 

[Eagle]

Fix the original pickups, put the covers back on and you're good to go.

 

[Cirrus]

What happened to the T top that two of the screws in the bottom are missing?

I was wondering if it could be a Tim Shaw but I don't think they started until 1980. Still... are the spacers made of wood or plastic?

 

[Cirrus]

It was probably one of these. <snip>
But only if you are restoring it otherwise get something good.

I think the PCB back pickups were later in the 80s, but I don't know for sure. I had one of the lower wind bridge versions for a few months last year, I thought it was pretty sweet but lacked low end.

 

[DrewJD82]

See all this contention here, Tom? All these questions being thrown at you? Relief is on the way in the form of a shipping label.

I tried to take it apart, I think (it was a looonnngg time ago) to clean the poles, and it fell apart.
It's a white strip of plastic.

Never hooked it up.

Well, it's a good thread. Generated a lot of convos.
