There was a difference when Celestion first moved production overseas. Mesa noticed a difference (as many did) and wanted UK made V30s that sounded the same as they had been ordering. I don't think that is the case now though.

I could hand whittle one and it'd cost less

I'm hope they do a decent job (and not a crazy price), always been a cool guitar.

I detune and cut. No shame in being practical.

I think the Custom has become a default for me too. It's the go-to, and if things need a little tweak, Custom 5, Custom Custom, or Full Shred depending on the guitar.

Cool Rails is an option for that sound... and not far off from the Jazz

Full Shred - it's a mid range flavor that I've never heard out of anything else Any PATB model - the design really plays a little different. Invader - I really have to try one of these yet 😞 It really seems to have its own character

You've been called out now. I'll put a pin in this and remember. This is a cool place with good people, and it has no time for trolls so it stays that way. @jeremy might wanna check this one.

OK, you've just stated challenge accepted. Many, many very solid, old dog players here can all attest to how difficult it is to nail that swing at tempo.... but once you put down the cork you're sniffing, you might notice that. That was literally a test, I'm not sure your history, but I suspect...

Sounds like Lynyrd Skynyrd with a chicken pickin hang over. Not even close

Go learn I'm The One.... the forum rests it's case.

Production amps that popped up would be Mark IIC+ and SLO in '84/'85, but not the most common and expensive. That became a trend and by '92, there were a number of options from a number...

The tone is a thing, but his playing with that tone is was makes it so unique, especially in context of his contemporaries. The guy spoke through his instruments, the tone was his dialect. It was, and still is a landslide.

I think you're opening statement would get you ostracized from most places, good thing this place isn't like SnipersHide.

Ed certainly pushed the envelope, that tone certainly was the inspiration that became what happened in the mid 80s with Mesa and Soldano. It just wasn't really out there for the masses until the early 90s from what I can tell. I always blame Ed too, in a good way. If fact, one of those early...
