Greetings Earthlings!

hey all
Pretty new to the Forum. Been playing an ASAT special as my #1 axe for over a year now.
Playing guitar for about 23 years. Just sort of put things into high gear over the last 3 or 4 though after a long layoff. Hell, it's cheaper than a sports car (maybe not).
I like rock, sometimes with a little twang. This particular asat I think is a 93. Anyway, the pickups are just the best thing I have ever played. The neck is nice and thin. I can get my whole hand around it. And the action is super low.
I just can't imagine ever having a better guitar. Something about the bit and clarity of this axe that just speaks to me. Thanks for letting me hang out and I look forward to meeting everyone!

Very nice. I just missed out on one like that. What's that little amp there?

It's a hughes and kettner 20th anniversary tube 20.
I really love this amp. It gets pretty loud but you can get awesome bedroom tones out of it too.
if I had to only have one amp, I would probably choose this one.
Oh yeah, regarding the lack of a logo on the front, Honestly, my dog ate it.
Seriously, we got a ST Benard puppy and one day I came home and my wife told me the news. He just snatched it off and started chewing.
It's probably in my yard someplace.

:happy0065: Fender will probably steal that idea and start charging an extra $1000 for amps with a 'dog chewed' logo and corners...

That H&K (G&L.... you must like partnership companies ;) ) sounds cool. I really like ~20w amps. I don't need anything louder than that - I use mine as a monitor most of the time and mic it up through a PA. I'm thinking about trading an old guitar for yet another 25w tube amp tomorrow....

Ha ha Love the fender rip.
Yeah man, you should check out one of these. They got blown out on Musicians friend so there are a ton out there that people paid less than $400 for. I paid a ton more and don't regret it a bit. The clean channel is fantasic too. great amp and you can get them for a steal used if you look around.
