1952 Les Paul - my first 50s vintage Gibson! I traded a few guitars for this amazing sounding guitar. I got it from Steve Hawkins who has owned it since 1972.

Please email [email protected] if you see it around. 😎👍 @TwoRockAmps
A super limited run of 5 Tube Drives are being built next week. These feature a 1984 General Electric 12AX7A/7025 tube. Champagne knobs and pink/purple graphics on transparent black over hand sanded aluminum is gonna look incredible!

You are saying that my Dad being a sole proprietor of a small business that couldn't afford an employee hence relying on his son for help, is not in your definition of "working class"? Trust me, we had very few luxuries in our humble home growing up. We were a proud, hard working, lower middle class family that made something great for ourselves through sheer determination and a lot of luck. Oh, and ah, I'm from New York, we reserve the word "retarded" for the really special cases like yourself. 😉🤡

We meaning working class people who don’t have the luxury to have their father as a owner/boss so no, it doesn’t count as much but kudos for helping your dad. Also, for someone who lives in the south, you use the R word very lightly, perhaps is something too close to the heart?
My uncle shared this picture of my dad. I’d never seen him with his Strat he talked about. This blows my mind. John Michael Keeley. The picture is from 1965-66 is my best guess. 50s maple neck Strat 😎

How’s this for #TeleTuesday and #TacoTuesday Mike Eldred’s El Cabron Guitars. Forty years of guitar making! 🤯 I fell in love with it at first sight. Not only does it have a neck that fills my hand in a Very satisfying way. The Curtis Novak pickups are also a fantastic choice. The guitar sounds amazing and looks just as fantastic.
#Straturday - 2022 GT11 Fender Custom Shop ‘60 faded/aged Fiesta Red. #Sweetwater - born 9/20/2022 so I just missed its 4th birthday. I love the red over black, and the 11 inch neck radius is fun for shredding and bending. I think I should play something off of Speak of Devil. This guitar reminds me of Brad Gillis’ modded 1962 Fender Strat “Bubba” painted Datsun 240Z red.
Is everybody having a good time or what?! 🦇 🦇 🤘 🎸 🤘 🦇 🦇
What’s happening? Well, October 6th is release day for the new Compressor Plus Germanium! We searched for years where to add the magic of germanium to the Compressor. We found the perfect spot to modify the design and install a Japanese style germanium transistor. At the heart of the design this transistor part of the audio output and it’s also part of the sustain side-chain. It has instantly become the shop favorite. Fitting tone for our 25th Anniversary 💎 🔊 🎸 🎶
Mike Beigel invented the MU-Tron III in the summer of 1972. I was only two years old when he designed it, but over 40 years later I’d be pouring over the design. Jerry Garcia and Frank Zappa’s use of the effect are my favorite examples. My Neutrino is a tribute to Mike’s amazing sounding design. I used charge pump to double the voltage in order to capture the incredible dynamics of the original. I got to talk with Mike a few times because of Rand Anderson. No one has done more to advance the genius of Mike Beigel than Rand. One of my favorite designers.
