Hey! I use a Vox Valvetronic 2 x 12 modeling amp with the same preamp stage. I love it. The other guitarist has the real Vox AC30 with the Blue Alnico Speakers.

A friend has got a Valvetronic - always sounds pretty good. I’ve got a line on a second 1G Tonelab that I’ll probably pick up next week. Nice to have a spare in case the first one goes toes-up. :)

I have two Tradition Tele-like guitars. I got them through a guitar wizard here in Columbus. He sold them to me many years back. They are made in Korea, but have necks from America attached. The Korean bodies are made of ash that is still very much available over there I am told.

I’ve got four Teles, and only one of them is a full factory stock Fender. I’ve got one with a Lollar rail in it (for heavier stuff) and one with a Hipshot B-G bender (both ‘Esquire’ style with one pickup), and a double-bound black body which is my favorite. All three of them are assembled from bodies and necks that I’ve picked up here and there, Like I said, if you can work a screwdriver and soldering iron, you can build a pretty good guitar without a lot of effort.
