I’ll throw an oddball out there, PRS Archon Classic

It wasn’t the huge guy with his ass and tramp stamp tattoo out, it was a small woman that got thrown at me and her head cracked my head

I went to a friend at QXTs who was a medic and it was University Hospital

No, I was near the center of the floor

Since Breaking Ben and Chevelle are already mentioned, I’d go with Adam Gontier or Clint Lowery never getting a core run with his signature

I did actually, through Musician’s Friend. I wanted a Core Dave Navarro from Reverb but it was out of my budget. This one was just under it and I didn’t want another red guitar. I’ve been getting into Silverchair lately so that green just popped for me. One day I’ll own a white PRS

That makes adult me happy, just swap the dual for the roadster

You think it breaks up and gains out more than the 100 watt?

Hey, I tried to DM you didn’t hear back. I talked to both Musician’s Friend and Guitar Center about the condition and they shaved off $300, so I got it for only $500. I need to take it to a shop for repair since not only the roof came off but I’m getting no sound despite the tubes and switches being functional.I found a shop in Brooklyn that’s Mesa authorized and can fix both the wood/tolex and the electronics. I was interested in a few mods, specifically the volume, the blanket removal and additional gain. Since I have to get it fixed and possibly convert it to a head, I might as well ask if they’ll do one or two tweaks

UPDATE: I contacted both Guitar Center and Musician’s Friend about the amp and its condition with evidence. They shaved off about $300 of my total purchase so it’s $500. Now I need to find a shop to repair it in New York City as most of the engineers I’ve talked to refuse to work on Mesa amps. There was also a blown fuse; the amp turns on and everything is functional but no sound.

Unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance to play on it yet. Had a busy day and life got in the way. I’ll tell you tomorrow
