I just picked up an Abbey Harmonic from a friend. I have it on loan for the weekend, so I'll bring it along. I'd be very surprised if anyone knew anything about them, as apparently there were only 10 or 11 Harmonics made.

Sometime around 1970, made in Christchurch and based on the Vox AC30 according to its owner.

Hey it was great to meet you all today, I had heaps of fun playing through all the amazing gear. There wasn't a bad tone in the room.

That was really cool. Great gear and time to try everything. I think I tried pretty much every combination. Great just to grab a guitar and try it on 7 different amps or try an amp with heaps of different guitars.

sounds like everyone had a good time

perhaps another one in a few months time when everyone has swapped gear at least 3 times

Excellent. Pity I couldn't be there, but maybe next time

Ash, I saw the (signed!!) JSX at Go West. If it's not gone, I might wander by there this afternoon and see if I can have a fang

My mate was in Go West on Saturday buying a new guitar, he got to try out the guitars thru the signed JSX. He said it was an awesome amp!!!

Did the signature give it a warmer tone?

Cheers all for Sunday.

I hope at least one of the guitars he tried out through it was a JS model
