that's a f***** beautiful telecaster, I had the exact same type 'cept with a bigsby, it was Fender Japan and gorgeous while I had it.

Well my rig... ain't worth mentioning, you have my missing part, a Mesa Boogie Studio Preamp... i'm desperately after one for a good price! :(

I do have a PRS CE Maple Top 24 though, which is rather nice, and a Marshall 9200 power amp... 100 watts per side, eight 6L6's, a beast! a bargain too...

Sell me your Studio Pre :)

I was just puling his leg, Cant let the Hiwatt go,I use it every day.I tried to swap it for a Lester once, but got no interest. It is superb. I didn't use it alot at first,but it sucked me in.You've seen the pics.

The Studio is excellent. Bear in mind I'm using it with a 50/50.  Very versatile,Lots of different tones from Fendery cleans to crazy drive.  But it is fiddely to get right.Just a little touch on the controls makes a lot of differance.  When right it has great tone.  I swaped them  once and missed them so much,I bought them back .  The Hiwatt is the opposite.  I cant seem to get a bad tone out of it ,what ever I do with the controls.  It's subtle.  Its loud and clean,but you dont notice because of the headroom.  Better made then the Boogies,ouzeing quality.  Add pedals and its superb. You get the full flavor of your guitar and pedals.  It feels like your playing the amp as well as the guitar.  Dynamics?  I thought it was a bit boaring at first ,because it dos'nt colour your tone like some amps.  It just lets your guitar tone flow through it. I love it now and use it nearly allthe time.  I still like my Boogies though and I have a 70's Scala  6 watt valve ampalso.   Oh yea the cabs are a 1x12 Black Shadow and a 1x15 Fane.
