Hi guys!
This is my first post in here and the reason is I came over a guitar that I used 36 years ago namely
a 1962 Black Star III. It´s not perfect at all and missing some parts but I´m a musician/songwriter
and not a collector so I´ll be using it in the studio mainly. And it sounds amazing!
When I plugged it in a week ago it had one mike working but with no tone control,
after having sprayed/cleaned everything inside I tried the guitar yesterday and was blown
away. I would say the sound and controls are as new. The DeArmond Dynasonics may not be everyones
favourite but I think they are fantastic. Having screwed the magnetos down to surface level in the pups I have clean
sound on clean channel at 10 from the guitar and a great attack and grit on a distorted channel. I love it.
I´m waiting for the Bigsby arm from Ebay it never had since at least 1977, and I replaced the vol/tone
controls with others, there´s one Guild knob left among those that were on but I´ll save that.
What I am looking for - knowing they´re hard to find is a pickguard and an original pup switch tip.
So any 60´s DeArmond Dynasonic fitting Guild pickguard is interesting to me!
