Valie
Hi guys, Im sorry Im late with the introduction but here it is. I am 55 years old, live in a small town in the North West and still enjoy a weekend gig every now and then.My taste in music ranges from Eric Johnson, Wes Montgomery,EC, Page, Lennon & Mac,every thing that has tint of blue, local, Jethro Tull, Bryan Adams, Metalica, etc. My gear is mostly homemade and that includes various amps (all Valve) My main guitar is a homemade strat with Kahler trem and EMG pickups in treble and mid positions. Humbucker in front. I also use a ES335 (homemade) with a 59 Duncan at the back and a PAF DiMarzio in front. Acoustics are Ibanez AG Electro with Fishman and busy building one with a mahogany top and rosewood sides. Amplification is a modded Marshall JMP50w Tremelo that Ive changed into a 100W Super Lead. Spare amp is a Vintage Vox AC50 (serial no 1265) head on a Fender 4x10 cab. Ive been lucky to learn the valve amp trade from an old Pro and have been building guitars from the early 80's. Hope I didnt bore you with all this info. Thanx Valie
