Anything is only worth what someone is willing to pay.

I've never played through ANY amp that didn't feel or sound as good unless it approached or exceeded the "That's a bit too loud" volume in a home setting. My Sweet 16 is way too loud for the house at the volume it sounds best. Headphone outs are ok, but the "trouser flap" is absent.

Find an older SE Angelus, (Korean). I loved mine. I do love the sound of a Yamaha acoustic when played with a pick. The first few years of the SE acoustics did both pick (strumming), and fingerstyle very well. Since I acquired an early US Angelus (2013), I haven't played any SE model...

Or if you use an odd set of strings with unusual gauge combinations that won't intonate, no matter what (insert Badfinger sound clip).

WOW! A discussion worth looking over. I value the guitar more than the case, but I'm not a collector.

It's fun to play with your HXDA!

I feel the pain. I gave away a 50 watt Marshall head in 1982. I think it was a 2203?

Sorry. The one piece is a 1965 Fender Mustang. My first electric guitar. All original, unmodded. Sold it for $200. Thought I made out because I bought it for $180.

Pretty much everything I've sold over the past decade or so is more valuable. I would really like to have the stuff I gave away in the late 70's, early 80's. Yep, gave it away.

During the intro, when they sing "Turn it up"; I say "Turn it off" and change the station.

I can be there Thursday evening. No, not really. Although I'm a little over an hour away, I have 3 amps I don't play through enough. There is a deserving person out there who can use and appreciate it. Really cool of you.

"The more you drink, the better I sound". I cannot consume and perform, though. At all.

At Christmastime, my son sang "all of the other reindeer, used to hafta call him names."

Lagavulin 16. For me, Islay is the only way.

Absolutely beautiful. 20th Anni are my favorite, (check my avatar). I've had a few PRS' I didn't "bond" with. Not the fault of the guitar. We all like different things.
