Hey Ice Cream man! Thank you so much for the kind words - I play in Sea of Green.
That smoothtalker is something else! I was very lucky to get one (actually on Guitar Forum). I have got to know Mervyn Davies over the last year or so and I know his backlog for those guits are almost 2 years.

In your opinion, how do these compare with the TS808? - I like the vintage tone of the 808's. I heard these are a little more heavy in tone?
