yeah, I'm definitely stoked. I needed something not-as-rowdy as my V4, but with more crunch than my Vibrolux.
I'm thinking this will fit the bill nicely as a living room/recording/project-with-programmed-drums amp.

Finally got this in the mail. In a terrible state, but still functional (barely) -- 1968 Guild Foxey Lady. There's a lot of history in these, and a load of different versions actually made by Mosrite and later by EHX. Guild didn't actually make any of their own, just rebranded Fuzzrites, Axis Fuzzes, and Big Muffs.

This one's a Mosrite Fuzzrite, Si, with the Sprague module. 1968 pot codes.
I just got round to cleaning it up this morning, putting the battery clip back in the right place, cleaned the switches and pots, and it sounds great.

It came with a cool old Kent acoustic pickup, which is exactly what I needed for my beater 70s Suzuki acoustic, and also one of those weird Fender volume/tone pedals from the70s.

So after playing some of my step-dad's guitars I realize my Tele isn't all that I want it to be :facepalm:

The wide range humbucker in the neck sounds amazing, but I really dislike the bridge pickup. Even when both are on it tends to thin things up more than I like. & while that could easily be replaced, I'm starting to dislike the neck and vintage frets :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

Now I want to go out and try new guitars.
But I really don't need to spend a couple hundred bucks right now. I should have just left those fuckers in their cases haha.

That's just the same passive volume and tone control as a guitar.... WHYYYYY. I do like the mechanism though, no fiddling with fancy electronics, just string. :cool:

Looking at it again, can that thing be to scale at all??

Also: I like the strat bridge behind the hard tail, you need to rout the back out to accomodate the trem!
