100 watt tube amp is the most impractical amp one could own. You best be playing pretty large venues and/or hate your neighbors/family/housemates and have a desire to go deaf. I never turn my 20 watt up higher than 5 at home. Solid states are nice for home practice.

Every guitarist should have a nice half stack. Gotta keep everyone else yelling at you to turn down. Attention whores. ;)
I’ll be keeping up in any room you’re playing with my class-d micro and a 112.
Wanna buy it for me? I'll trade you some DPS Lotus 120s.Quote:

You guys are a bad influence. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f57bbda5a1.jpg
Sweet, I have the 100-amp version.

Folks might not be aware that '57 Strat pickups aren't really the last word in output....
You have no idea how off the rails I've gone on reverb of late.Quote:

OK, I want to share a little about this unicorn that I got for $350.
Very ‘custom’ official Fender Nashville Telecaster. What’s unusual is that it has two different single coils, and a bridge humbucker with a coil tap (but it’s all stock).
Another odd think about it is that it has a Strat Belly Cut. Superb neck, nice and low, but really, really chimey. Very unique sounding tele.
I got it in mint condition, but recently a ding appeared on the front, which is a total mystery. Oh, well. Attachment 491308

Its funny to me that guitar makers often seem unwilling to give people what they want. like I bet that tele would sell great if it was available off the shelf so to speak.
Like, fender does roasted pine bodies, and they'll do rosewood necks, but they won't do them both together unless you do the mod shop thing. Roasted pine and rosewood seems like the premium combo tons of people would want.
I guess. Damn, had to cancel my buy.Quote:

That Tele thing is pretty cool.
Already have some. But thank you for the offer!Quote:

From what little I can find, mine was a Japan only model. Curious that they didn’t put a different pick guard on to match the humbucker, I don’t think many were made.Quote:

Any MIJ Fender is worth $350 if it’s functional and intact. I regret selling a few MIJ instruments. That said, nothing with Fender on the headstock made after 1964 is really a unicorn. Maybe some odd custom shop stuff but mostly that stuff is just fancy inlay and gold hardware.
I am DEFINITELY not coordinated enough to make a b-bender not sound like ass…

Isn't 67 supposed to be a sweet year for fenders? I've never bothered to learn the ins and outs of guitars I'll never feel like aren't overvalued and will never owned but I feel like I've heard that.Quote:

And yea, I guess the two above pictured teles are cool and pretty similar. While the belly bevel isn't really that big of a deal in terms of playing or listening experience, it does seem like a crazy detail if done by the factory, something very uncommon. Not an option I've ever heard of.
I never thought it was crazy rare, but I certainly have never seen one in person.Quote:

Goddammit, I don’t know how to embed a YouTube video anymore, something changed with what parts to copy and put in brackets.
But this is the bbender sound I would like to play.

My fender branded made in indonesia FMT HH teles have the belly bevel, but I've never seen any other tele in person that does. i think a made in usa tele with humbuckers, arch top, belly bevel, and the set neck with the ergonomic shoulder would sell great but what do I know.Quote:

good god that cannot be the url.
Thats wild, I had no idea about the byrds connection. I had never heard of this gizmo before. From thevideo, it appears you do not need extreme coordination, but in fact, can make itsound pretty good by just doing the whitest old guy dance moves possible with your guitar.Quote:

I say go for it.
Low wattage tubes are excellent for home usage. Only issue I have is that half my playing time is in such short durations that the tubes don’t get warm. For those times I like a solid state or modeling pedal with powered speakers.Quote:
