Teaburst R9. How can I have Gas for an intrument I never get along with? :roll:

That and a couple of previous R9's have almost forced me to re-evaluate my feelings towards G guitars! :o

I went through hoops importing my "fancy" amps. So the readily available, mass produced stuff would have to go first when it's time for sale.
Amps:
Soldano SLO100 x2 | Wizard MC1 & MC2 | Diezel Herbert
Fryette Pittbull CL | Marshall 2203KK | Krank Rev 50 | Mesa Mark 2A

Rack stuff:
VHT/Fryette GP3, GP/DI & 2/90/2 | Peters FSM/Chimera
Verellen Meatsmoke | Synergy SYN1 | Mesa Studio

Yip, I would hang that on the wall as artwork. I won't get a decent sound out of it anyway :oops:
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Those tops on the last couple have been fantastic. There was a GREAT batch of top wood in 2019 as well.

90s banger!
What a strange and awkward song. Lovely chorus, truly wild verses. But overall still I think I liked it. Weird.

I purchased a beautiful Goodsell super seventeen about ten years ago, I figured out through the Grapevine it was probably stolen and handed it in to the police to be reunited with its owner somewhere.
Dam I miss that amp,,, it was the first time I realised what fancy boutique stuff was all about

… a Chinese built Vox Ac15 TVHW head and cab
Oh man, that’s one of my favourite amps. I’ve owned two of the combo version, but would love to track down a head version.

I know. It's way too much amp for me though.

coincidentally I've been GASsing for a AC15 handwired model, Music Planet has got Black November sale going and this seems to be an okay price?
