Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Yeah they look nice, kinda cool how they even went to the effort of doing a silver Alnico speaker as well. I wonder how different the speaker will sound?

These will have to be very pricey, surely?

Certainly filling a gap in the market. JMI seem to be all but done?

I'm just looking into the NZ pricing and availability. I suspect it will be frightening.

Lots of legit guitars made in Asia proves that not only the Americans can make them well. I think it is only a matter of time before some of the fakers perfect their art and decent fakes result. Depends on the faker. Some do not care and only want to deceive. Then then are some that genuinely are try to clone the gats tho. I saw a vid where the buyer was peeved at a few things and the faker sent him a new guitar with all the problems sorted and thanked him for pointing them out. Weird. Pedals are easier to fake. Mooer etc are good at it, but they put their name to the clone rather than try to pass it off as the real deal.

So, maybe $6-$6.5K here? Same as a JMI.
