What has Twinfan just bought?

Congrats! 65 amps are no cheapo's, but they're supposed to be build like tanks and the Empire particularly appeals to me as a 6V6-fan.

It's a shame you are moving the blue tele on.
I'd be interested if you did it in red

[Twinfan]

I think you are missing a few PRS's!  Don't you have 2 of the limited editions and a Chris Henderson, or I have I missed a sell off? 

How do you like the pickups on the Limited?  They look strange but get a good write up.

Nope, still got the Henderson and the blue Sig too - I use them for gigs.  I just grabbed a quick pic of my 3 "top guys".

The pickups are great - very versatile and fairly hot, modern-ish sounding.  A "PAFs on steroids" vibe.

Bloody awesome Dave! '65 amps are pretty much the only amps i'm jonseying for at the minute. I've tried cr@p loads of amps in recent months and 65's are the only ones I'd drop my MK50 for! As for your guitars.... you're a crazy mofo but in a good way, I love em. I will say though, the ME STILL looks out of place with all the shiney ones so just be done with it and send it to me!  :lol:

[Twinfan]

Ha ha - you wish Don!  They seem to be getting really hard to come by, no-one is selling them.  I haven't seen a stoptail Modern Eagle for sale anywhere in Europe in about 18 months.

That old chestnut eh?  :lol:  I can't see me parting with that unless I absolutely have to. If that was the case, all but the green Signature would go.  If I could only have one, that would be it.

That guitar causes this sort of feeling for some reason

Very nice - but I prefer this edit - mainly because Tia Carrere gets all guitar techy

Nice amp Dave.  i take it it does the vintage marshall and then on into more modern high gain sounds?  seeing as you're shifting both the AFD and the Martamp?  i must say, i'm a little surprised how the value has really not held on the AFD's, yours is the second i've seen go for around £700.  i didn't buy as an investment, but it is a surprise.

the top on that SC is stunning!  there's PRS CU24 with a one piece top in a shop near me that i've been trying to resist for months.  i'm off to Australia now for a few weeks, so i needed money for that.  but if it's still there when i come back, i might be putting myself in trouble :)

i'm sure that guitar and amp compliment each other very nicely.  it seems the guitar is kind of what you wanted Pearly to be

[Twinfan]

Thanks blue  :)

The 65 Empire doesn't really do the high gain thing that the AFD does, but the XTC has that covered.  It certainly covers the 45/100 style tone though.

That sums it up exactly!

Beautiful guitar. I'd be interested what you think of the 57/08s after you've had the guitar for a while. I kept the bridge 57/08 in my Studio for about 6 months - couldn't make up my mind whether I liked it or not, so at the moment I've got a Rebel Yell in there which I will try for a few weeks. (much prefer it so far, but may refit the 57/08).

[Twinfan]

I'm liking them so far - very PAF-like, bright enough without being too bright and nice and clear.  No need to ever swap them for anything else.

That 65 amp sounds lovely. How much do these go for here 4G?

I thought the same when I got my Studio at first but ended up trying different pickup heights. I think the 59/09 would have been a better choice for the bridge of the Studio as it would have been a better match with the middle and neck Narrowfields.

Nice amp too!

Nah, full price for the head is/was £2399 and I got it in a sale for £1499.
