Fender 1965 Super Reverb - Original not Reissue - in Torrance CA for $1050

This seller is offering what many Blues players consider to be the ultimate gigging amp - the original Blackface Super Reverb.  These are great because - despite only being 45 watts - they are pretty darn loud and they start to break up at about half the volume of a vintage Twin.  If you want pristine clean tones this is not the amp for you - but it will growl and sing nicely at non-ear-splitting volumes for years to come.

Keep in mind that the Super is still a big amp - it is tall and can be unwieldy - but the wheels definitely help.

Fender Hot Rod Deville w/ Celestions in Los Angeles area for $325

This seller is offering a pretty good deal on a Hot Rod Deville. This is the 60 watt 2x12 version of the Hot Rod Deluxe and this one has had the original Eminence Speakers changed to Celestion G12H's which are pretty good as well - not exactly the same as Greenbacks but they are better suited to the Hot Rod Deville.

Cosmetics are not great but this looks like more of a players deal than anything else.

Fender Deville 2x12 with Celestion speakers G 12 H - $325 (KoreaTown)

Used Fender Deville 2x12 with Celestine SpeakersThe G12M may have become a classic, but it was the G12H with its heavier magnet that really characterized the sound of '60s rock guitar. Originally available in 2 versions--low resonance for bassists and high resonance for guitarists--both were embraced by guitar players for their unique tonal characteristics.

The Celestion G12H is a perfect re-creation of the low resonance model, right down to the voice coil former material; glue formulations; and vintage, solder-only tag panel. Suitable for use in all cabs, it exudes thick, syrupy tones with a deep, growling bottom end.
I have had this amp for five years the casing has some wear and tear from tourning, other than the casing the amp is fine. To get the best sound It will need new tubes. which will prolly run around $80 easy to put in. the amp comes with a foot switch with two different distortions. This is a great amp for Blues/ and Rock RnB Reggae Jazz.

Magnatone Varsity in Little Rock for $250

This seller is offering a nice clean looking Magatone Varsity for $250.  That is a nice deal and this one looks like ti is good to go.  The 6SJ7 preamp in here is basically the same circuit as an early Fender Tweed Champ.  These amps sound really nice for the apartment or studio.  Worth taking a look (and cool!).

Kay Value Leader in Portland for $150

This guitar is for sale at a guitar store in Portland called the 12th Fret.

$150 is a nice price for a Value leader and this one looks perfectly fine to me.  That pickguard is some kind of a retrofit and the knobs are not original - also the headstock logo may or may not be original.

But you don't buy this type of guitar for its perfect aesthetics or collector value.  You buy it to play that swampy backwoods delta blues and make is squawk!  Check it out:

Jeff Beck Loves His Guitars Just As Much As You Do!

I never realized how much of a guitar nut Jeff Beck is until I saw this video showing a small part of his collection.  He plays some very tasty licks here including some Duane Eddy and Django Reinhardt.

It sure is something to hear Jeff talk about seeing Buddy Holly play live in Croyden when he was a boy while he is holding a 1954 Sunburst Stratocaster.

Stunningly Subtle Musicianship form Jeff Beck

I guess I have been living under a rock because I didn't hear anything about this amazing young Australian gal Tal Wilkenfeld who was playing bass with Jeff Beck for a few years. I stumbled onto this nice HD Recording of them playing at Ronnie Scott's in NYC.  Beck plays some very subtle and expressive notes in accompaniment of Imogen Heap's vocal and Tal lays it down nicely with drummer Ronnie Corbett.
