These are great sounding, powerful amps. I've had one for years. I also have a Twin Custom 15. . . it's hard to tell them apart.

So how much are you asking?

Hey Dennis,

Is your buddy Chuck Thompson the same Chuck that played with Tex Williams in the 60's? If it is I'd like to say hello to him. . . it's been about 40 years.

I am shocked. This is so hard to believe. A young man with so much talent. We just saw him at CAAS this last summer. What a giant. I am saddened to my core.

Do the gold Kluson keys have the bushings?

Is the Standel still available?

Got a picture of the Standel?

The Sho-Bud literature states: 100 watts continuous and 300 watts peak.

Bump - Still looking.

I had been thinking about switching to a polyester or urethane. I've been using Lawrence-McFadden nitrocellulose lacquer. Talked to the tech's at Lawrence-McFadden about going to one of the 2 part coatings but they turned me around back to the nitro. To much hassle and expense for a small shop. I'm ...

Hey guys, I got my Sho-Bud single channel amp today and was disappointed. The sound was not near what I expected. There was no edge to the treble (not even in the brite position) and the bass seemed to need a pot that went to at least "14" or more. During the course of this thread I got an...
