Hello from Kentucky!

[Mechanical Diesel]

Hello everyone, I've been lurking for a while so I figured I should make an account. I don't have a Strat yet, but the American Vintage II '61 Stratocaster is calling my name. As customary, some of my guitars and amps...

Welcome to the forum! Wife and I really like Kentucky, our neighbor to the south.

Really nice guitars. I’m a Tele guy, but that LP looks amazing!

Welcome to the club. You have some awesome pieces there. Tell us about those old Gibson amps please.

 

[Mechanical Diesel]

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. The amps are both from 1959, the small one is a GA-5 Skylark, and the bigger one is a GA-40. They both sound absolutely incredible, and while I'm not typically one to enjoy beat up guitars or amps, as soon as I saw that particular GA-40 for sale, I had to have it.

I also have a play another fairly rare amp, it is a Hiwatt Little J. It is supposed to be a recreation of the Hiwatt amp Jimmy Page played in early Zeppelin, before he switched to Marshalls. It also sounds incredible, no matter what I play through it.
