Nicely done

I took a chance and bought this one from Amazon and it's friggin' awesome! Great deal, great quality board. For an extra $20 you can get it with a power supply. https://www.amazon.com/Guitar-Aluminum-Effect-Pedalboard-19-8x11-5/dp/B083TF3JF2/ref=sr_1_1_sspa

Nigel referring to Satch: "he has style and technique, I have volume"

"If ya can't blind 'em with brilliance, bludgeon them with volume."

- but then there might be expectations about my playing ability

About a year and a half ago, I decided to take the plunge and order a new Machete. I spec'd it out with a single Muy Grande pickup, stainless frets on an ebony board with star inlays. Set neck construction. Trans purple (it is more of a dark purple in person, I just can't get it to photograph right). It really is a great instrument for those who were wondering about the quality of the new Robin's. Thrilled to be able to spec out my favorite guitar. It was worth the wait for me.

Nothing thumps like a 4x12. I miss my Bogner cab. That thing was a beastie.

When did Brent move to Japan?

You absolutely HAVE to show up to Sunday morning sound check with that thing in tow! 🤣

No you don't... towards the bottom of your post, there should be "Add Files".. press that and locate the photo in your computer or camera Oh and congrats on your 4x12👍

spotted a clean Marshall 1960vintage 412 for a good price, it had been there long enough that I was able to get if for a 'very good can't pass it up' price, and got a 24hr return in case the speakers were wrong or blown up. I was lucky: speakers are the Marshall G12 Vintage by Celestion (date codes indicate '95), and in good shape. I should flip it, but it sure looks good under my old 2204. I can attach photos again! thanks Dave!

Thanks for chiming in! Cool story about Andy during the early years and how that guitar ended up with him after it all. And I just went back and looked at the heads. They are noticeable shorter. 😂 I totally didn’t notice that before!

You would hate sitting near me when I'm working. I smash the shit out of the keyboard when I'm wound up and writing Ben-appropriate replied to certain emails I receive...

Welcome Back!

This was the day that he (Zorrow) acquired it. It was 2014 in Frankfurt;

That was a cool video. I never miss an opportunity to see Judas Priest.

Wow! Ionel will enjoy this post. 😎👍❤️🏁

Folks watching this will possibly know that the black one is #0204 which I bought new in 1979. It's mad to think that this was the guitar Andy stood looking up at during the first 1980's incarnation of Hell when he was a just a kid. He was a super-fan and it was the band's frontman (Dave Halliday) who first taught Andy to play guitar. It's delightful that after its long history, it's finally in Andy's hands where it will remain forever. I can't possibly think of a better custodian; In other news - Paddy Watters is one of the nicest guys I ever met and it's great to see him in this role. He was the guitar tech for Hell also, and we had some great times together. He's a damn fine player, too. When the band folded and I sold up - Paddy bought my Kemper. And finally - a fun fact. It's pretty well-known that I'm a (now-retired) carpenter. When Andy first started working with Judas Priest, he called me and asked for some woodworking-related help. The rack case seen in the video was originally built for a pair of 5150's and Andy's Gower-hotrodded Marshalls were too tall to fit. So I split the heads in half vertically, took a slice out, and spliced the two halves back together. If you look at them - you'll see that they're quite a chunk shorter than regular JCM800's. I defy anyone to spot the joins ........ ☺️ Best wishes to everyone !!

Cool post, thanks for sharing... now I'm all excited about trying the Saint Helens guitar bridges on some of my guitars 👍 Products https://share.google/tOeAUP5XDQy4OM5tl
