Finally!

I'm really happy for you Jim. This one was a long time comin'. I hope it's everything you expected it to be. Post some pics when you get a chance and enjoy the heck out of it when it arrives (which I know you will). Congrats!

Congratulations!

You're so lucky to have an 09 fireglo, probably the best ever.
Really looking forward to seeing the pics of your new arrival. :lol:

It's on its way. Should arrive Friday, maybe Saturday.

No. Right now I'm using a late '60s Kustom roll & tuck with a 2X12" cab.
JakeK wrote: TI flatwounds for 12-strings
No. RIC standard 95404

Yup. Bought last winter.

Oh yeah. That was the first thing I did was to buy that DVD. Been working on my McGuinn licks for two years. And a set of Y cables to experiment with the Rick-O-Sound bit.

As far as amps go, I'm real interested in two: the Vox AC15 (because it weighs in at approx. 35 lbs,) and the Fender Blues Jr. for the same reason. I've heard good reports on both. And I don't foresee playing venues that require a big, huge amp anyway. But if I did, I'd just stick an SM58 in from of the amp and call it good.

Now you need a new FG 330/6 string to go with it. :twisted:
