A Fender Lover
Hi Guys!
I've just joined & thought that I might share a view of my gear.
I have a Fender Red Knob "The Twin" and a Red Knob Deluxe 85 plus an Ashton 15 watt Buskers amp.
My favourite guitar is this 1972 Harmony H671 - a total dream to play.
I also have a Greg Bennet (Samick) RL4 LTD and the other is my travel guitar - a MarineRider
which a Japanese made version of a Mosrite. My pedal is a Zoom 707II and a 323 drum machine.
I use the Zoom PS-02 with the MoonRider, I loop it into the speaker system which ups the volume
and gives me a drum machine with effects plus the ability to plug in my cellphone for mp3playback.
Most of my playing is at home or with my Church Worship team. My rig is quite versatile being that
all my amps allow using a mic at the same time as my guitar.

Re: A Fender Lover
Hey welcome on board...but Harmony pffft
Actually nice to see another Harmony lover, I have got a few of those and have had a lot more. My main players a H74 that is a dead ringer for yours finish wise, H19, Rebel H82G Avocado burst, H167 flat top, 2 Stellas 927 and 929, and a little parlour size the model of which escapes me. Others I have had, Broadway archie and 1327 archie, H54 Rocket, H47 Strat and a H950 archie.
ETA: Oh and a 1954 Harmony amp made by Valco which is just 5 watt tone heaven.

Re: A Fender Lover
I think all of them have been posted at some time, but happy to do so again if wanted but didn't want to derail the thread. That one posted by Steve is a dead ringer for my H74 apart from the double cut V the neo cutaway
