    Yeah stuff is out there. I "built" Ronno 20 or so years ago. At the time original Sprague bumblebees were well over $100 each IIRC. As I recall the project came in right around $2500 all in without the period-correct pots and caps. Guitar was around $1800 and the rest was the refin, new bridge...

    Thanx. Not sure about "mostly". Lol. A buddy of mine has the ASAT. Basic solid body with some optional pickup choices. The ASAT Deluxe was the thinline. I believe that was only available in sunburst finish with the Seymour Duncans and a coil tap. Made in Fullerton CA on the original Fender...

    These days if you want something in particular it is quite likely you will buy something you don't get to play first. I've gotten several that way and been okay with all. You can prowl music stores but there ain't all that many any more and go ahead and find a '75 Yamaha SG2000. Lol. I would...

    Bought a 'damaged' Tele

    Looking for Class B tube preamplifier or amplifier, how many can you remember?

    Mic wars were a thing. Not tubes. There ain't but a couple and they're flavors.

    Wouldn't It Be Nice...Design Idea

    Yes it was. Not really a "practice amp" at 130 watts but it was my only amp at the time. That was one that got away. Sold it with my 20th Anny Les Paul Custom Black Beauty. Oh the folly of youth.
