Hi everyone. I’m currently searching for my friend’s Sunn Solarus. She passed away last week and about a month before, she had to regrettably sell her Sunn Solarus and vintage Fender Bassman 2x12 cab to Guitar Center in New Orleans so she could afford her bills. This rig was the one she used on many gigs and many studio sessions. It was quite special to her and she was really upset to have to let it go.

The employees at Guitar Center New Orleans were gracious enough to at least let me know that the items were sold locally and not online. They were not permitted to give me any information on who purchased them due to policy, which is understandable. I’ll be posting in some local Facebook groups to help with the search too.

Some main identifiers for the Sunn Solarus is that there is a circle on the grille cloth towards the left and that the reverb tank was finicky - it rarely worked. The cloth is more brown than the black or grey that I see on other Solarus heads.

I’m searching through her phone to see if I can find pictures of the serial numbers. I will update here if I can find them.

I’m willing to pay whoever is in possession of the items so that they can get another one. These are sentimental to me and our community and it is hard to know that these pieces of her are out there somewhere. If you or anyone has any information, please contact me through messages here.

I’ve removed her face from the photos for privacy.

Thank you for reading and hold your loved ones close. ❤️

Been working on my first two builds. Got the sides of each sanded down (that was after this picture), but still need to sand the tops/backs, add my body cutaways and contours, do a roundover, drill holes for knobs and then finish.

Id like to do an oil finish the black limba body (left). Wondering if black grain filler would be a good choice. I also had these wood pickup covers CNCd for this build but I’m now wondering how the hell I’ll finish them as well. I know I’ll need to sand them a bit without messing up the corner radius and such.

The body on the right is mahogany with a ziricote top that I’d like to do a gloss finish on.

Just wanted to see if anyone has some good ideas/videos to recommend as I have never done either type of finish before. It’s a bit difficult to find a straightforward guide for each process - it seems like every one is different. Thanks!!
