I had better make sure my daughter doesn't see this and get any ideas....

I've only begun to explore all the tonal possibilities, but so far I'm loving the middle position with the bridge in 'bucker mode and the neck in single-coil.

For a variety of reasons I wasn't able to get there until about 3pm on Saturday. My buddy greeted me and asked, "So what are you going to buy today?". "Nothing", I said, having just bought a sweet Breedlove acoustic-electric this week (a nice complement to my SE Angelus). Needless to say, I was...

Love it - can't imagine being able to pick that clean and fast.

Very excited about attending for the second time - really enjoyed myself last year!

Mine came from Willcutt and they did a setup before delivery. I liked the action the way they had set it, but I didn't make any particular requests. I just noticed a day or two ago that it's developed a buzz when I fret it at the 8th fret on the low E string. I'm planning on trying to tweak it...

I love mine more every time I pick it up. In fact I just put it down after noodling on it for the last 90 minutes while watching football. I'm not sure I've ever had to re-tune it, it projects beautifully and has a nice clean and balanced tone. Go for it!

Thanks for the very interesting info. Seems like after doing a few of these custom mods they put a limited number into production. I noticed that the one on ebay had a 4ohm speaker, mine is 16. No signatures or CAD emblem on mine.

The only thing I don't like is that I haven't had the chance to play with it nearly as much as I'd like to! But honestly I'm too much of a rookie to know the difference - this is my first tube amp. The ET65 is apparently the 16 ohm version. Repeating what somebody else said, I can't get over...

One of the most fun parts of XPRS2012 was getting the chance to talk to Doug Sewell, who is a heckuva nice guy. But I had a specific question for him. I had recently decided to buy a Sweet 16 combo, based on the demos and reviews I'd heard and read. Being a strictly basement player, a nice...

After hearing Tony McManus and Todd Bauchspies playing the SE Angelus Custom this weekend I'm not sure whether to pat myself on the back for having bought one or break it into little pieces...

For pure synchronicity, tonight it's (apparently) Kurt Allison. A long day at work, directly to XPRS, home by midnight - pour a Makers 46 and sit down to watch Letterman. Musical guest is Jason Aldean and all of a sudden I'm like, who the *hell* is that dude playing a JA-15??? Very cool.

The highlight of my night for sure. I always recognize Cortez after about 3 notes...

Absolutely gorgeous FlameTop. Love it!

Nice to see some love for the NFs. Would like to hear more about the coil splitting - something I should consider for my ME III?
