Why on earth do you think I signed up for this? I clearly plan on losing! I anticipate hundreds of fantastic guitars showing up on the soon-to-be-neglected FS board. I will swoop in losing this battle, but winning the gear! Ha ha! You fool!

A working musician will get that tone with a Menatone Howie pedal into a Fender combo set clean, and won't have to pay the price of a well-equipped Mercedes Benz to get it.
