I’ve played a lot of those pickups and there are a lot of great tones in there. Looking real hard at the Rolphs.

I know that move 🤣

I would have to read the TQR article again for the details but going on memory I believe you are correct. I think it was connected to the 2007 storage unit thefts.

I remember an article about one of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s amplifiers turning up in a storage container. It was later covered by ToneQuest Magazine, who got a chance to test it. Their takeaway was interesting—it didn’t sound particularly great on its own, but it made a lot more sense in a live mix.

Reading this thread brought back a lot of memories. 

Wish I was in the market for an amp right now. This is a great price and amp.

Wow, that amp sounds amazing. 

Yes. When that guitar is shipped from Japan into your country, it is treated as an import and you will almost certainly pay import charges, even though it was originally made in the U.S. What matters is where it is shipping from and where it is shipping to — not where it was built.

No affiliation:USA  Hamer Special  It looks like an okay deal on a quilt top, but they do not actually show the serial number stamp in the head stock, and it appears the frets are nearing the end of their life.

So tempting. 

Loving all those guitars! Wish I could take everyone!!!

I haven’t ever seen one of those on the market. Good luck!

Dream guitar for me. Going into scramble mode.

Have you tried a TC Electronic Sub n Up Mini? Cheap as chips and they sound pretty awesome. If you want all analog look at the Boss OC or MXR Sub Machine. 

Looks pretty cool in concept. I have a originals of nearly all these, but I find for the Spectrum to sound decent it needs to be run in tandem with another pedal to sound decent, and it is very limited in application. I think that pedal is more of a collector's item than something wildly usable.
