The CLASSIC. This is the one. The Shure 520 Green Bullet with the black label controlled reluctance element from 1953! Cosmetically, please be aware that the shell has some scratches on one side, which I have shown in the pictures. NOT a perfect 10 paint-wise, but still very nice. Tone-wise, it is a 12. This is a Chuck Gurney special, from Fat Bottom Mics. It has been totally re-wired , fitted with a new Switchcraft single contact connector , new gasket from Jeff at Harp Mic Gaskets. The element has been cleaned, armature aligned, and treated with polymer to inhibit corrosion, has new leads . It is ready to rock trouble-free for years to come. All the joints are done with silver solder and shrink wrapped. These and other special touches are what make Chuck's mics the very best. Top quality pro build. The shell of this mic has some paint loss, but is otherwise in great shape. Please see all photos. It shows its age on the outside, and has that cool patina that you only get in a vintage mic, but the inside is completely re-done. They don't get much better than this, folks. Top of the line pro harp mic, completely plug and play, ready to give you years of pleasure, not to mention the killer harp tone you have been searching for. IS THIS MIC DEMONSTRATED THROUGH A FENDER BASSMAN AND A SILVERTONE 1432, WITH AND WITHOUT MY LONE WOLF HARP DELAY : International Bidders Welcome! TESTIMONIALS FROM THE PROS: "If you thought great sounding vintage harp mics and elements were extinct, you're wrong! Ron Sunshine of Deluxe Vintage Mics hooked me up with 2 mics that sound as good as anything I've tried in over 40 years of playing harp! Also, the guy's a prince to deal with...and, he was definitely not exaggerating about the sound of these mics!" - RICK ESTRIN (Rick Estrin and the Night Cats) "I've known Ron for twenty years--we were both up-and-coming harp players on the New York blues scene, way back when. And when I got married a few years ago, Ron's swinging combo got the party jumping. He's not just a fantastic singer and a dynamic musician, though: he's a smart and conscientious purveyor of harmonica microphones. When I told him what I was looking for, he nailed it on the first try. How did he do that? Damned if I know, but I'm having big fun with the new mic. Ron's the guy." - ADAM GUSSOW () OK, who's next?
