Also last year some of us made a point of bringing very small amps, but I'm seeing a trend toward humongousity around here.
So it's time to size up the deal and see if it is doable, in my (not)official view.

So, are we gonna do this? Because it's looking like it's got itself expanded from last year and that little gymnasium there might not have room for us
all.
Also last year some of us made a point of bringing very small amps, but I'm seeing a trend toward humongousity around here. So it's time to size up the deal and see if it is doable, in my (not)official view.

I'm there with a Tele and a Honeytone or two. (And maybe a Frontman 25R.)

Big amps doesn't necessarily mean louder, but it definitely means cleaner and clearer.

I think there's enough juice in there. Those treadmills use a lot of power. Looks like there will be plenty of amps too, so we won't necessarily need
to double up.
Mikey - YES! They all sound great but I'd especially like to hear the Lennon Epiphone. ("No Reply"!) "Shut up and play yer guitar" - F. Zappa |

I see a Bassman and a 1x12 cabinet in the crystal ball . Hey LeftFrank , wanna try one of my builds ? I should have 3 or 4 done by then . Cherry bodied Tele
with Maple/Rosewood , Wild Cherry bodied Esquire with Walnut/Ebony wired hot to the jack and a Wild cherry bodied hardtail Strat with Walnut/Madagascar
Rosewood . All lefties .

Hey now, Otter. I might as well leave my Mexi-Tele at home with those goodies you have.
I didn't get a chance to try that wonderful Bassman at DORKfest, so that would certainly be great if you brought it. "Shut up and play yer guitar" - F. Zappa |

Hey Frank . Don't let me stop you from bringing anything . I am hoping to have the Strat done by then . Thinking about using Fender '69 Strat pups
mounted correct relative . Backwards for a leftie . This will leave me with one neck left over . A Cherry/Madagascar Tele style stick . Don't need any
pistachios , I'm nuts enough already . These Cherry bodies are the pits . They will all be different neck contours . The wild Cherry Esquire and Tele will
be 2" thick . This building thing is addictive and fun . Must be illegal in some way .

Our friend Juan Carlos Montero posted this in the Technique forum and I thought I'd bring it over here.� Warning: Taylor content!� But it's cool all
the same, and it occurs to me one doesn't have to learn a lot to be known as an electric guitar god, one only needs memorize these licks:

I'm looking to unload these. If anybody is interested, I'll bring them along.
Martin Stinger with Floyd Rose tremolo added - formerly owned by forum member John Reid.
Dean Markley Spectra 125A - 50 watts, nice reverb and overdrive distortion effects built in. I'll even throw in a volume pedal (if I can find it).
