guitar buying is done for now....I have a Gibson SG and this custom made strat made by a local guy ...he built a beauty...man does it sound good...the computer recording does not do it justice.
strat being built .......
strat (also an epi and a Jackson, I traded the Washburn for part of the SG cost, I do not like EMGs) I also bought the Ampeg amp for blues and my last aquisition for everything else- a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier-review coming soon for both amps
Mesa pic , the cab is coming in 2 weeks when I can pay it off.
I paid $700 for the strat and the Ampeg amp. :D the strat had to be set up by a luthier though for $125 but the strat is all US parts!!
