an '82 Firebrand "The SG" Deluxe. it came all original w/ "chainsaw" HSC. i have since added used period-correct Grover tulip tuners and bridge from a mid-80s Les Paul and relic'd knob pointers. i got this back in november and have posted pics on other threads and thought i should have my own thread :)

Me too, it looks great in black! Nice SG!

 

I like that bridge too, who makes that? Schaller?

 

thanks guys.

 

the bridge appears to be a Schaller as there is a Made In Germany stamp on the back.

 

i also had a '79 walnut one that i sold 12 years ago and in my recent quest for another one found out they came painted too--much nicer!

Until I read your post that the pointers are relic'd I was thinking "man for as good as the finish looks they sure as hell didn't take care of the pointers" haha. Very sharp. That case looks indestructible.

yeah, whoever relic'd the pointers 'overcooked' them, they literally look like they came from the bottom of the ocean. but all the screwheads are rusted and any unchromed bits are anodized badly so that's okay. knobs have yellowed very nicely. only the intact paint and chrome shine, and that they do.

 

the case does look indestructible, i just wish you could somehow lock it... no combo lock, no loop.

yep, original finish.

 

 

thanks again for the kind words fellas.

 

My bad. I missed the first two times you said that it's the original finish in this thread. Oops. Anyhoo, I think I like the black finish better than the usual walnut finish I usually see those in. And zebra pups, don't get me started on zebra pups. They're the coolest.
