+1 on that. I have two AD30VTs, one for my kid and one for me. I like the amp a lot but I must admit I'm hankering for a 50 instead. My understanding is that speaker quality takes a major jump between the 30 and the 50 (Celestion?). I'm pestering my buddy to buy his 50 which I love - very sweet...

Thanks again, all. So much good advice . . . maybe too much which was the original issue. Now I've got some great pointers to shop with. Haven't really set a budget yet. This is early stage pondering GAS. Just didn't know where to start. Now I do and what I have learned is MIA is not the be all...

Wow! You get your head past the anti-Squier bias and I see what you mean. People love the CVs, indeed! Sweet-looking guits, too. Think I'm partial to the 50s one but we'll see. Think I'll head down to Long and McQuade and muck around with a couple of those. Thanks again for the great steering...

That's a very helpful start. Thanks, guys!:goodjob

I've been looking at Strats and thinking about getting one but there are so many to choose from. Any thoughts on the right one for a classic rock kind of player who wants a basic but well-made guitar. I'm assuming MIA but, within that, where do I point?

My daughter recently gave me the new Hendrix "Valleys of Neptune" CD. Jimi probably wouldn't have wanted that stuff issued but there are some great tunes on it. Point is, that took me back to listening to Hendrix, Clapton, Jeff Beck, Cream, Blind Faith, Yardbirds etc. It's a treat to get...

I have the 30 and, I must admit, from time to time, I pine a little for the 50 . My buddy has the 50 and it is one sweet sounding amp. I may be wrong on this but I think the AD50VT and up have an external FX loop that the 30 watt version lacks. Not that there's anything wrong with the 30: I...

Thanks, all, for the additional welcomes. As anticipated, a friendly spot here. Nice!

I've got some guitpics up now.Time for :beer: and :rar. Note the Gibson-style "open book" headstock on the Univox LP. I think this may actually be a true "lawsuit" guitar. any comments on that?

Thanks for the welcomes, all! Tig - I'm very happy with the WI45. She's a gorgeous trans-red. Pics will be up shortly. Got it from FunkyMunky. Nicely done guitar for a great price - even shipped to Canada. Kimo - thanks for the dance. Skill-building, bank account depletion and the...

And he shared that collection with listeners across Canada on a cool CBC radio show for a number of years. Now Randy Bachman fills the spot and his show is getting better and better.

Congrats indeed. Much happiness coming your way. Kimo, I feel for you. My second is about to head off to university as well. Not sure how the Lovely Wife is going to adapt to a big empty house. Gotta review the phone plans.

Fantastic! I've been on this forum for two days and already you folks have opened a huge window for me. Tuned the Univox LP to open G yesterday and, already, I'm turning into Keef. Smoke dangling from the corner of my mouth as I write this.:thankyou

BTW, I should have said: I'm 52, been married to the Lovely Wife for 25, have two amazing daughters, 18 and 20 and have been playing for about 30 years, 15 of those semi-competently (the WG2S opened everything up for me). I can play at parties and not embarrass myself sort of level. That's my...

Hey folks! Another forum noob. Was trolling about and found many familiar names from the Washburn Forums here. Figured this must be another friendly, civil and helpful place. Like the look of the Vox Modeling amp section - lots of good info for me there. I play: Acoustics: Washburn WG2S...
