Couple of unusual items may be soon released into the wild. This is a heads up in case anyone is interested. Photos are just what I had on file.

Firstly: THE SG IS NOT FOR SALE! DON'T EVEN BOTHER ASKING, OK?

Right, now we have that out of the way.....

The Strat is a beast. '74 or '76 I think; don't hold me to it. It's been a professional road warrior for longer than some of you have been alive, so if you have Conway's tastes in guitar finish, walk away now. Plays great, sounds huge, relic'd the proper way.

Then there's the Harmony H307x. Can only find a back shot but that's where the interesting stuff lives. If I hadn't been suffering from 8 months of no income, this would be mine.
So rare that Google can't get a handle on it. Here's what I've figured out over the years:

Built in the 1960's. There's a 306 model which is more common which has 2 6V6s. This one has 2 EL84s. The X designation means Export so the transformer is 240v straight from the factory. It also has the best sounding tremolo I have ever heard. Seriously, this thing's got so much character.

There is an incoming holy grail amp and the usual wifely reactions so needs must.

Don't ask me about prices, I don't know. If this looks like something you'd like to explore further, I'll put you in touch with the owner.

Oh, and as a finder's fee, if you'd let me borrow the Harmony from time to time, that'd be great.

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

For you, anything is possible....

I feel like that Strat and I are on a collision course...

Grant has rejected it so it's obviously worth nothing.
