    Typical of setup day at a guitar show trading among the vendors was fast and furious!

    My buddy Billy is holding a '60 3/4 neck LP Jr I scored.
    I've always had a "soft spot" for the double cut juniors; I'm in lurve again.
    Had to let a '71 Marshall 50, and '67 EB-2 go, but hey, that's what the show is all about!
    Stay tuned...

    Just drove by the Tacoma Dome twice on Thursday (going to Seattle and back).  That's enough for a while!

    Where's the "amps" in Deering amps? I see only guitars.

    "Where's the "amps" in Deering amps? I see only guitars."
    Good question!
    Just through the door behind the ES-339, in the Amp (read that LOUD) room.
    Last year the whole booth was in there.
    The pedal guys "noodled" ALL DAY LONG; I'm SHOUTING because my ears were bleeding!
    This year the amps are in the amp room, and I'm talking to customers on the main floor.
    Sold a '75 HIWATT DR-103 today.
    Man could that boy play LOUD & CLEAN; really have to push it to get it breaking up.
    Stay tuned...

    Alright, alright; here's the amps

    Should have got a pic before the Marshall and Hiwatt sold
    Here's an update on the guitars

    Last year when everything was in the LOUD room; ouch!

    My ears are still bleeding!
    What is it with pedal builders, they "noodle" endlessly, even when no one is around (except me)
    to hear them.

    I'm going 5 watt, I'm tired of wrestling with 100 watt heads and 50 watt combos.
    That THD Bi-Valve weighs about a ton and a half!
    I'm sooo glad the HIWATT DR103 found a home, those partridge trannies are an f'ing beast.
    Even my 15 watt Soul Mate, at 28 pounds, is just about all I want to fuss with.

    Those Univalves are fun!  I had a rare "Lefty" where everything was labelled backwards.

    For some reason I've never liked the THD amps. Univalve, bivalve, meh. The concept is brilliant but for some reason I never found the tone to equal the concept. YMMV.
