The Sunburst Guitar Thread

[Gutmann]

Here my sunburst collection:

My ES335:

And the most beautiful top on a Roland GR500 guitar synth:

And once more, count the sunbursts in this pic:


Enough sunburst porn Even enough for the red guitar-, the natural- and the no color-threads..

What's the amp to the right?

I have an old '66 Super Reverb that has been cut into 2 cabs, that looks a little similar (only waaaaaaaaaaay more beat up).

That's the Fender Prosonic 30W ClassA with 2x10 Celestions.
A great amp with a massive highgain-channel. I had the two Twins before (last pic above) and tested a mates Deluxe Reverb RI - the Prosonic is my favourite Fender so far.
The cabinet is made by a local builder (www.tube-town.de) with a flexible back and loaded with one G12H anniversary and one greenback

Cool, so you play it as a 2x10 w/a 2x12 extension cab?

I've done that with my Super. I play the top half (it has some very old Sunn speakers in it, not original Fender) with a DIY openback cab (made out of a gutted Crate combo amp) w/2 Celestion silverbacks in it on the bottom. The combination of 10's and 12's is cool.

This is a 1972 SG II

[Brian Krashpad]

RXT, is that the original finish or a refin? It's unusual to see a CSB on an SG.

Gutmann, that room is just amazing. I would love to spend a few afternoons, evenings, mornings, etc. there!

Definitely original.
In fact the only thing not original are the frets. I refretted it about three or four years ago and put in huge bass frets. Big frets are like having cruise control. They make it easy to play and, although I can't PROVE it, I KNOW it improves sustain and tone by adding mass to the neck.



I'll go take a picture of the fret work and add it...gimme a second...
EDIT

I think, rather than mess up this thread, I'll start another for this '72 SG.
It's the polite thing to do, dontcha know. :

Believe it or not this is a 'burst (albeit a "have to look so hard it may as well not be" black/dark brown burst). It's impossible to photograph the colour gradation.

Hey Mark, can you tell me something about this guitar? I've seen nearly the same one some time ago in a shop.

Hm, right at the moment there's not much more left but two old solid state amps , the marshall and the guitars.
4 people in our 5-man-band play guitar, so we took a picture with the complete rig (last photo).

Is that Cindy?:

It's a 1994 Special Edition. The '93, '94 and '95 SE strats were made for Fender Europe as limited runs. They were mostly just US standards with different finishes and a "special edition" neck plate. The '94 was alternatively available as a blonde with a tortoise guard. They ran to a few hundred pieces per edition but because they weren't available in the USA (I'm guessing) they don't even appear in most strat guides.
I think the black Roadhouse start has a similar colour scheme to mine.

Sorry, the Tele's not burst but she snuck in.

It's interesting to notice that the Strat has alnico pickups versus the less expensive ceramics that usually come in budget guitars.

Yeah, it didn't come with those. Those are the GFS Texas Stagger Premiums. Not that the original pickups sounded horrible, but Strats should always have Alnico pickups for the single-coils. Always. For whatever my humble opinion may be worth, anyway.

Btw, good eye, Spud.

I feel better now knowing that those aren't the stock pickups. I don't know why but I just do.


Beautiful guitars Stranger.
