    Thanks!

    I normally plug into my Marsh Deluxe Reverb clone but lately I’ve been alternating between and Fender Champion 600 and a Yamaha THR30.

    Those are the only amps I have right now but they each fill they’re respective niches wonderfully.

    Marsh is for when I want the whole setup. Champion is for when I want just guitar > cable > amp. THR30 is for when I have 5 minutes to plug and play quickly.











  • Not a custom shop order but back in 2021 while awaiting the arrival of my firstborn, I decided to treat myself to a Gibson ES-339 in transparent ebony during supply shortages. I’d call sweetwater at least twice a week to see if there was a any word on when they’d show up. Looked at countless YouTube unboxings and reviews, thought of which first songs to play on it, which amp I was going to run it through, essentially all the things you’re doing now.

    One of the times I called Sweetwater my regular rep wasn’t there so I was connected with another guy (I’ll keep his name private in case this somehow gets him in trouble). Out of sheer curiosity, I asked him how much of a discount he could give me on a Sweetwater exclusive Lemonburst LP Standard and he said he could do $2100. I felt that was too good to pass up so I canceled the 339 order and switched to the LP. I’m so glad I did. It came a few weeks later and I haven’t looked back.

    Moral of the story for me is, if I wait long enough for a guitar, I’ll lose interest and move on to something else.
