LOL!
No, the HotRod wasn't cheap, it just happened to be the Tele I fell in love with. The Sherry was a cheapy, at least for the prices here in Mexico! I bought her used and abused to within an inch of her life. Lots of work, love and some cash, brought her back to life. The Sherry is the best guitar I've ever played or owned.
You have some NICE gear Brian! I especially like that fat Tele and the Ovation!
Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
The amps are in the lower end of the spectrum but I can't complain. The Peavey C30 has a full set of JJs in it, a Weber Silver Bell Alnico and it really sings. Even when played clean, there's a nice grit, always some hair on it. The Vox is a great little amp. I don't think they make this model anymore. That's too bad.
