Nice git!! if my memory serves... this puppy has stacked humbuckers in all three positions, correct?

yeah 3 humbuckers

It looks great. I havent played one yet and I wondered what the in between switch positions sound like. Does it have any tone in those positions that sounds Stratty, but maybe bigger?

umm well the first posistion is definatley the least distorted with gain but the the has a whole lot of power behind it its my first fender so i dont think i could answer that one for you

i like your style of photographing your axe.
you made that guitar look so much better.
congrats

thanks, man

philywilly33,

Absolutely a beautiful guitar. Thanks for the pics. I can't wait until my local shop gets one in to see how it sounds. As I mentioned before it has a lot of nice features that I would like for a guitar.

I have a Marshall I can use without a cabinet. It's called... a combo:

Anyhow: very pretty looking guit, philywilly. Enjoy that axe!

Cheers - C

it ried one at bestbuy, recently during my quest for an axe.
i loved it, however it wasnt what i was looking for.
still alltogether, a solid instrument, with the feel of my hwy one

can u gig with that combo?

Lord, are you serious?

I had a non-guitarist friend round and he strummed a few notes through my amp. I had the channel volume right down and after a minute he looked up with a disappointed expression and said; "hey, I thought Marshalls were supposed to be loud...?"

I reached down and turned the lead channel up to about three. He hit the strings and a sound emerged pretty comparable to the noise Concord made at the moment of takeoff (if you've ever heard that). It kinda picked him up and flung him against the far wall, like he'd been shot with a huge Magnum.

Am I exaggerating? Only a little.

Then I looked down and realised the power attenuation was kicked in: that amp was only running on 25 watts instead of the full hundred.

In short: yes, you can gig with a combo...

Cheers - C
