All time favorite? Vibro Champ. Best? Well that's debatable.

Poor Syl. RIP. Word was he'd been battling cancer for a while. He's left behind a phenomenal legacy though, even beyond the Dolls. Fantastic...

Learn the way all the rockabilly greats did-- by combining both. :D

Truly one of the most baffling decisions in current Gretsch history.

Ah, that's right. I think I was mixing them up with the player's edition pro lines.

Weren't the previous Rat Rods 2.25" thick? Looks like they're beefing them up a bit here.

I think the worst show through no fault of the band I ever saw was the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in the mid-2000s when Karen O came out with some horrible...

Strokes and folks, but Sonic Youth were amazing every time I caught them in the late 90s and early 2000s. Definitely one of the better bands from...

That's kind of what intrigues me! :D I hated my late 90s American Standard tele back in the day, was contemplating putting a B16 on it then...

How did the B16 change the tone, if at all, Caleb?

Those look great, Wayne. What model are they? A B16-equipped Tele is one of my last few bucketlist gear items, so I'm thinking about picking up a...

Bandits are stellar solid state amps, though? I can't compare the Tone Master series, but I love a Peavey Bandit.

I wonder if this wave of Made-in-China / alibaba drop shippers are going to become the new Harmony/Silvertone/Kay 20 years down the line? I'd...

Fantastic guitar! One day I'll get a Tennie Rose for myself.

I think the silver rings look great on almost any of the Gretsch hollows, obvious exception being any one finished in silver itself.

Jade Idol is a total deep cut. I wore out my cassette copy of Choo Choo Hot Fish just listening to that track. But I was also a weird punk rock...

It was just a head, so a modest 45 or so. :D Had huge transformers, but three well regarded amp techs just couldn't figure out why it kept blowing...

While we're talking vintage Vox, I used to have an old AC-50 that was an absolute nightmare amp to keep running. Sounded great when it did, but...

A lot of the angular or teardrop ones are in bad bad shape. They seemed to have been made really quickly to cash in on the Stones' fame. The...

As an aside, it's crazy how often that can be said about iconic vintage gear, regardless of provenance. A friend of mine back in Chicago had a...

I missed those days, sadly. I would have loved to get a 6119 for under 1k. :D My experience with GC in Chicago and Pittsburgh was always...

It's probably a sign that said location is hemorrhaging money, if anything. Man, I haven't stepped foot in a GC for like 15 years and I'm not...

Vox Cheetahs are great. I always wanted one of the ones with the built in effects ala Sonic Boom from Spacemen 3.

It's a 2008 1959-spec reissue. So, not really in the same ballpark as yours in terms of value. :D But still, I don't like modding guitars beyond a...

It's not a pure Setzer track, since it's co-written by the late great Joe Strummer, but I always thought "Ghost Radio" off of Guitarslinger was...
