Scored this at a garage sale for 5 bucks. Sylvania 6V6 GT/G from 1943. Put it in the Champ and played for an hour or so. Seems fine. Not the Holy Grail of tubes but cool nonetheless.

My only gear score for 2019 was Kiz's BCR Jr. Love it.

A couple of things on my radar, one of which is a nice acoustic. I have a very nice 000 style acoustic and a crummy dreadnaught. Played a friend’s Collings SJ and was smitten. If the right Princeton Reverb becomes available I might bite.

Seller states 1 5/8 nut.

Merry Christmas to all! (Ho-Ho-Ho is downtown Santa taking a head count.)

Where have you been, atquinn?

A few years ago Randy built me an 8 watt Pasadena. One 6V6, power scaling and an effects loop. The head shell was built by JDesigns. This one was a little more high-gain than I pictured in my head. Came with Marshall style knobs and I added the mini chicken heads. I eventually passed it on and the new owner is happy with it. As others have said, Randy isn't the best at answering email. He came through in the end and delivered as promised. It was quite a wait. The wiring wasn't as neat as it could've been but everything functioned. I don't have a gut shot. There are lots of Phaez fans out there.

Gorman has a book out now titled “Hard to Handle”. He was on the Adam Carolla podcast a few days ago and said he would not be a part of any Black Crowes reunion.

Best wishes to you, Jamie! Get well soon! I too have Factor 5, discovered a few years ago when I had a DVT. On Xarelto for life. Hoping you are feeling better.

Well, it DOES have a “definite vibe”.

Lucas, Prince of Darkness. Why do the British drink warm beer? Refrigerators from Lucas. Etc, etc

No affiliation. Love the description. "Angus Young from AC/DC plays this guitar." "The price listed above is several thousand below the appraiser's value." https://jacksonville.craigslist.org/msg/d/fernandina-beach-73-les-paul-deluxe/6976059049.html

Tim the Enchanter. Love it. I took a film class in college and everyone wrote their final analysis of films like Citizen Kane. I wrote mine on Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I got a measly B+ but what the heck.

Do you have a guitar you would never part with? For me it’s my ‘64 SG Jr. My GAS is pretty much in check due to advancing age and declining abilities but there are a few “if ever one one of these comes up” guitars that are on my radar. Is there an instrument that you would never let go of?
