:D Blues Junior amp is an example of Fender. It's inexpensive, has an all-tube signal path, works well, and is simple.

The Strat is similar. My Highway One with the great new intonation and saddle fine-tuning from the skilled artisans at Wild West Guitars and Custom Shop Texas Special pickups gives nothing up to any guitar from anybody anywhere ever, for less than $600. Is a PRS really going to be better? The birds are cool. Is a Gibson going to be better? For some music when you want the heavy humbucker sound like to play ZZ Top or Led Zeppellin, which I don't play as they do because I use my Strat for everything. Is Ibanez or Yamaha better? Probably, since those are Japanese quality-obsessed companies, you don't get a dead pickup when you order Fat50s from the Custom Shop like I did, but you also don't get the feel, the heritage, the vibe, or really the expertise about tone and true understanding that Fender brings. The big rap on Fender has always been poor quality control, but I've never seen it except in those Custom Shop Fat50s. Everything from China and Mexico works great, and buying from GC or someplace reputable and going to a reputable installer protects you if there's a glitch. Bottom line: Fender is the way to go. Play it before you take it unless you can't because it's a set of Custom Shop Fat50s and then maybe forget them (unless you're getting the $5000 Cruz-built relics) because they might not work and go for some excellent Texas Specials like SRV, Knopfler and others.


Man.. you write a lot..

I have two for both. Gibson or Fender. And Marshall or Orange Amplification. Both are different and have different places in my heart.

"Man.. you write a lot.."

If you don't like it, don't read it. Feel free to ignore anything I say. In fact, I prefer it. I have a tendency to lose the point. You have a tendency to criticize others to make yourself feel better. My problem is permanent, but yours can be overcome.

Here's how I know: When they told me I had cancer and had a chance of dying from it, I just smiled. I didn't understand what it meant. The nurse I had been dating since the surgery where they cut out one of the several cancerous lymph nodes walked me out with a hand on my back. I went out with her again shortly afterwards.

I found out what cancer meant over the course of the next six months when every other week I went in and was crushed by the multi-drug cocktail. The first time knocks you but you bounce back. It's cumulative, with the wear showing more and more and more until they get to the deep inside of you and you get to find out what it's like to be free from the attachment to life, because you are so so tired, and after all, death is a kind of deep sleep or so it seems when every inch of you aches and you cannot remember anything anymore but you struggle on to try to find the life and the light and rest on faith and the hope that it will end and if not then at least there is something better.

When it's over - finally - you get the test results and hope for the best. Mine said I was in deep trouble and the treatment didn't work. However, another and later test - less reliable - said I was okayr and so they held off on the drastic remaining treatment to see whether I lived or died. Since I've lived for several years, the treatment worked. That's how they know.

While living and hoping to live a while longer, you wait to get better. After so much chemo, which they had to give you to save you, you bounce back a bit at first, and you wait to return to normal. I'm still waiting - bearing the permanent scars from my brush with cancer. That's why I may tend to lose my point at times. It's neurological. Have I told you this before? Someday, you may find out what's real and what's false. I hope it's not the way I did. In the meantime, I'll make as much music as I can, with Fender gear, because it's the best deal going for world-class music instruments.

This has gone on a while. Feel free to ignore it.

Yeah man, I'll never forget the day, or the look on his face, when the oncologist said to me "expect the worst and hope for the best". It's amazing how much your world can change with just those 8 little words.
