@AdamJ Small World! We live in Kimpton, a village 15 minutes drive away from Hitchin! Good luck with the hunt

Fender have released a tone master version of the Princeton Reverb which whilst may not be a true valve amp would work wonders in my flat, built in attenuator!
I tried out the silver face version but couldn't stretch to a grand they'd bumped the price up to ::)

I'm with you about the price. A friend of mine has the tonemaster Deluxe Reverb which I've played through a number of times. It sounds amazing to my newbie ears.

@chelliah Welcome! It's a great place for discussions. Killer tele! I dig Josh's youtube channel. I've wasted too much time watching him and his quirky team.

Along with an 80's MIJ Blonde TelecasterThe Johnny Marr Jaguar is my favorite guitar I've ever played. I have absolutely no need for it, but keep finding myself trying to justify buying the "Fever Dream" color that recently released.

So I had a spare set of pickups that I really love the sound of lying around for the last few years and I couldn’t bring myself to sell and that was obviously a ticking time bomb. Simultaneously I had fallen hard for my Vela that I bought a bit over a year ago and kept eyeing the satin black version with a lustful eye. So finally the inevitable happened.
I’m glad it did, even though I couldn’t rationally justify it at the time. This may be the best guitar I’ve ever owned. Even more so than my other Vela which is a wonderful guitar. Not to mention my other Tele and my PRS CE-22. All great guitars. But this one is just… absolutely magical. It’s so alive acoustically and plugged in that it feels like it wants to jump out of my hands and go on a rampage. Plus with my cosmetic upgrades (and the pickup swap) it’s just damn sexy. And slim ‘n trim at 6.2 lbs. I’m not really a PRS guy these days, but the Vela is a killer.

Also recently, after having an extra PRS CE-22 neck without a matching body with virtually no hope of ever finding one, I stumbled across one on Reverb. A buddy of mine who I record with chipped in on it and after much consideration we decided to remove all the finish and do a fresh stain on the top and then gave it several super thin coats of tru-oil(?). Here’s the result:

1976 Les Paul Custom and 1985 Flying V:
2007 Les Paul GOTW46:
Others guitars but no photos
I'm a stoner rock player, for my amps i use Orange dual terror and mesa boogie.
For the effects, few things but I'm a nerd with the pedal effect so when KHDK sell something, you can count on me, I'm a big fan. :o -
My main guitars, Gibson LP standard 1998 and Fender Tele american standard 2014.

@xtcclassic that Vela in satin looks the bees knees. Love it!
@gouki74 beautiful LP custom and it's 27 years old.Wow!
@Zee Boo absolutely killer Tele (Teles rule).
-
new to the forum.. but had to jump in on the guitar thread! I'm a full-time worship pastor and have the privelege of playing my guitar a lot. Here's been my favorite as of late - my good friend Josh Scott (of JHS pedals) hooked me up with one of my grail guitars!
Welcome! That looks stonking. What are Nash guitars like, I have heard good things..?

@AdamJ how is the Japanese Fender hunt going?
-
@chiverus it's on hold temporarily. @Freeman and I were looking at Gas Station Guitars the other day, a store the specialises in Japanese Fenders, has so many amazing choices.
Worth mentioning, @Freeman is not in the office today because he is at Fender HQ. I'll let him explain more about that!
-
@chiverus thank you! Yeah, it sounds great and it is simply beautiful
-
@chiverus thank you, it's 47yo, it's a real beast with a hell of a sustain
-
Of course it’s 47 @gouki74 my maths skills need some work
That sustain must be fearsome
