It's a Regal Angelus.

Relax, it's long sold! Over 20k for the whole outfit, I'd imagine.

The old shaded walnut is such a cool colour. Did you know that Fender shipped at least one Telecaster in the same finish? I certainly didn't...

Hi Ben, I have the schematic somewhere. Did I already send it to you?

The reverb on mine is somewhat better IMO than 'small garage', but I use a Dr Scientist pedal...

I found when looking into all this stuff recently that up-to-the-minute cab designs combined with high x-max neo speakers had made some of my old assumptions about driver diameter and tone somewhat out of date. I chose a Barefaced cabinet, which is featherlight and amazing; the company's in the UK, ...

Stunning to see such a precise point of mechanical>electric amplification. And so beautiful!

I won't bother anybody with the story, but Norm once displayed his complete honesty to me. I wish I had known him personally. My best wishes go out to his family.

Here's a similar Supro model in a slightly earlier incarnation with just a single volume control and no tone control. Yours might be around 1937 or slightly later. I believe some National serial number data puts the B prefix range at between 1936-1937, but whether that applies to all Supros I'm not ...

Overheard from a deranged-looking woman concerning our solo support act:

"Wow, he's a great guitar player! Even better than me! And I don't even play guitar."

I love this place. Thanks Cartwright!

That's a good recommendation. I'd love to know how the sound quality of this pedal compares with another MXR-sized reverb unit I'm thinking about, the Dr Scientist Mini Reverberator , which has more room/hall/plate settings plus a Leslie sound but apparently uses the relatively old Wavelength chip a...

Also, would removing all the strings to change them cause problematic upbow?

An argument for keyless and changing one at a time, of course. But mustn't get into that...

I've just ordered a Loopmaster A/B/Tune switch for this job. It needs 9vDC power for the LEDs, which I have, but it will also work fine without.

Couple more ideas...

Bruce Kaphan with American Music Club. Try the California and Everclear LPs.

Eric Heywood. Son Volt, Ray LaMontagne, Peter Bruntell's Normal For Bridgwater. Seen here (lo fi) with Jeffery Foucault on Northbound 35...

Vietnamese surf blues?! Woah... I like it.

Archtop, no f-holes... anything like this Supro from the '39 National catalog?

Likely taken at the Fender plant, Basil. The guitar far right is a very rare prototype or one-off: possibly a Zebra?

(Edit: whoops... apologies for going off-topic on a For Sale thread).

Good decision, Roger! They're really good, aren't they?

Seeing Eric playing with Son Volt in a tiny club a few years ago made me want to take up pedal steel. He has great taste and a unique sound and approach.

Here's the Eric Heywood interview in No Depression magazine...
