: : I just got one from ebay and I can hardly believe it's a old guitar As it looks brand new with no scratches or chips in paint. Great action. Best condition of any vintage guitar I have ever bought.
: : Tremolo looks original except for the arm which looks like it has been replaced. Neck plate says Steel reinforced neck Made in Japan and serial # 2143629 Looks like a Violin type body and scroll type headstock. Name plate on headstock say Conqueror and Bruno underneath the name. Binding around front and back of body and th fretboard.
: Hi, I collect guitars and have a Bruno Conqueror that is exactly like the one that you described. My serial number is 2143412. If you could tell me what year yours was made it would help me greatly in trying to find the year in which my guitar was made. Thanks a lot.
Hi, I also collect guitars and do some luthiery work. I bought a Conqueror Bruno from an aquaintance. It is a es-335 copy with 2 pu's.The body is sunburst with 2 F- holes.It even has th white binding in the F-holes.Gibson doesn't even do that.All guitar necks should have binding on them.Mine has 4 control knobs.SN is 2122136 early 61 or 62.4 screws on back of neck with adjusting rod.I've seen 5 Brunos like mine always with a trapeze tailpiece and no tremelo.I would like to see the type of tremelo you have.It kind of leads me to think it is an aftermarket.Usually the Bruno bases look like violin style.If you have a 6 string 335 copy you have a very uncommon axe.......
