New Toys





I recently purchased a new telecaster highway series and a Vox AC30 2x12. It's really the first investment I've made in decent gear. When I was in high school, my best friend Paul and his dad took me to Elderly once a month or so. We never really bought anything, we just went there to drool over the undeniable beauty of well crafted instruments. On one particular visit Paul grabbed a used Lespaul of the wall and plugged it in to a little Vox 10 inch. I was astounded by the sheer power the little thing could muster, not to mention this golden tone that resonated out of it. Ever since then I wanted a Vox. As for the tele, I just have always loved the twang and punch that the telecaster possessed. I just think its a great symbol of early
american rock and roll, and country music. So I finally got both, and I must say it was worth the wait. I hope to be playing out again soon. I've got a hankering for free beer, smoky bars, and loud rock and roll.
