Title: New guitar AND amp day
Post by: Blazer on February 11, 2009, 02:04:27 PM
Today I became owner of an ESP LTD Eclipse by trading it for my LTD Explorer (I decided to get rid of that one since it didn't match up to my Red selfbuilt explorer)

One thing I changed right away were the knobs, the EC 256 has those Gibson "Skirt" knobs which are really hard to grab and because of this guitar having a push-pull function, impossible to pull. So three chrome metal knobs took their place.

After the trade had taken place the guy told me that he had something else I might be interrested in and showed me THIS.

This amp, a seventies Japanese made solid state copy of a Fender twin reverb, was in good working order exept one of the two 12 inch speakers being torn. He told me that he was going to put it with the garbage and I could have it for free. Who was I to say no?

And because of that amp looking so Punk Rock already I couldn't resist taking a picture with the "Pink Nightmare"

Looks like you are starting to build quite the collection of guitars. That Lp looks nice!
