Hey all, just wanted to drop a link to a great deal on Reverb! These don't come around often, & here's a gorgeous example of workmanship... grab one for Christmas. Said he'd take $2900 Custom 24 Floyd Fire Red

Just arrived at Flores Music in Peoria, IL! Matching cobalt binding. One of my favorite colors, $4400 usd. Tell them Cory sent you.

I repaired a Fender Concert recently, that went totally silent after an event like this... upon inspection of the board, all 3 rectifier circuits were blown. I'm betting the gentleman plugged it into an unregulated power supply & got a surprise. Once that & a couple other components had been...

I would get something that stands out, yet still has that abalone/cobalt color present. Paua + outlined in gold or silver would be classy & eye catching, & has hints of a bluish-green in some.

Could be an internal component on the circuit board, such as a resistor, bad solid state rectifier, bad solder job, etc. Send a video to Doug Sewell, the amp designer & state how you've attempted to remedy it. I was going to say replace the effects loop tube with a 12AU7, as that fixes most...

The S2 is like a studio version of a higher end singlecut... if you're after the sound with some great looks, they can be had new for a great deal cheaper. Then again, might be good to buy the higher end, lightly used; cuts out alot of the initial price.

Satriani, Vai, & Meola

'95 Polyester basecoat and an acrylic topcoat. I prefer nitro, as it melts very nicely into itself for repairs.
