ArnieZ Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Have had a bit of gear overhaul and turnover lately and replacements have been secured😀 Duplicates, unused and impractical have been moved, don't know why impractical counts! Gone are the T51, Bluesboy, Redplate and Superchamp xd The Tele is a Fender Vintage 60's model, just like Mirrorimage's. Double bound body, Nitro finish, 9.5 radius Alder Pretty good out of the box needed some TLC to optimize. Sounds like a Vintage Tele more so than the T51 and has a bigger neck which I like. The Suhr pretty much perfect out of the box. Lightly reliced but you can tell the fit and finish are first rate. Jury is still out on the bridge pup but plays great has that beautiful glassy sound you expect. These I think you can buy sight unseen without worry. The Boogie, my first ever, is a Filmore 25. More tweed than blackface, 2 identical channels each with lots of options. I am not completely dialed in yet but pretty close. The identical channels prove to be exactly what works for me. I really like this a lot. So far every guitar I have plugged in sounds great! and there are still too many of those😯 ArnieZ    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakeboy Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 There really IS something about a double bound sunburst Tele with a rosewood slab and white guard. It just screams music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polara Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 That is one classy lookin' batch of music makers. I've never even touched a Suhr, but they have a great rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 My favorite new Boogie, it may be my favorite Boogie ever. Are you a single channel guy, but would like to have two of the same amp, but its not practical on a gig or for the $$? This is your amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you a single channel guy, but would like to have two of the same amp, but its not practical on a gig or for the $$? This is your amp. Each channel has a clean, drive and hi gain setting as well as separate EQ and reverb settings. All the controls are duplicated on both channels and it is foot switchable. If you decide to use a pedal in front of the ie a boost or drive you can potentially get 8 different tone pallets from the amp. As on all Boogies the controls are very interactive so even thought the 2 channels are identical, they can sound quite different. So far I'm quite pleased with the amp. Cost wise compared to say a DR Z you're getting a lot for the money. Love Dr Z's amps and a Z28 was my favorite for a very long time. Not wanting to spend the $ on that kind of an amp for my living room shows arniez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnieZ Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 A little more info on the Suhr which adds t its attractiveness. Frets are Stainless Steel GOtoh 510 trem with a steel block. Locking tuners and Suhr's proprietary noise cancelling system. I don't know the technical details about this but the guitar is dead quiet. The fret work is impeccable and the guitar was set up perfectly, for me anyway! Trem. has travel up and down and returns to tune reliably. As someone who got used to Hamer's consistency it is a pleasure to find another company that delivers. Besides a Tele there is probably nothing else Suhr offers I would be interested in, except for the Aura which is out of my $ league ArnieZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
