If your wife is letting this go in your living-room, you should let her choose the colour. Just sayin'

Fair enough. Lot less that putting a much smaller amount of fancy wood on a Lester.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Stupid.
Idiotic finish for a gigging amp and idiotic amp for a lounge.

Shit I'm cranky tonight!

Yeah these are cool, didn't quite do it for me tonally though, a bit dark. Been a few years since I've played one.

I always associate Emerald Green with British amps, but that looks real purdy with the cane grill.

But I'm a sucker for anything surf green.

As always, go with your gut.
Nothing to see here.

Id go the green one if it were me, and I reckon the upcharge is such a small percentage of the purchase price that you might as well just add it to the bill. You know you will regret it if you dont.

I came very close to ordering a blue one when they first came out (this was before I sold amps). Only thing that put me off was the lead time. That was pre-Covid, hate to think what it is now. The blonde ones are already in stock locally - that would be a big factor in my mind.
