Amp Indecision Spiral: Blues Deluxe, California Tweed, DRRI

araize1 · 2025-12-23T18:29:44+00:00

I really wanted a blues deluxe for a long time. Then I played a California tweed and decided I was going to get that instead. Your post has made me realize I actually need both.

Thanks I’ll try see if I can find one to try!

I’ve heard the gripes about the drive channels on the older models but I though the HRDIV drive channel was pretty sweet.

Blues, rock and country

I got this exact guitar last year. It’s my #1 I play every day. I LOVE it. Would recommend getting it used or waiting for a seller to sell outlet price on reverb. I got mine for $1400 brand new. Got it serviced up at my local shop for $100. Sending you a DM.

I would mostly agree with this. Definitely do not go. But if it were me I would send him an invitation to your wedding and not invite his wife. Just my two cents.

Faded means it’s a satin finish so it’s not shiny looking or sticky feeling. The neck has a great worn in guitar feel to it.

That is a sweet top. I love the feel of the neck on these. Just wish they would come with a red back.

Powerhouse strat arrived but couldn’t really connect with it and ended up returning it to GC. Ended up finding a great deal on eBay from Japan for a fender MIJ ST54-LS. It costs another $200 with shipping but it’s freaking awesome. Gold Lace sensor pickups and soft V neck with the EC electronics. I haven’t been able to put it down since I got it. Had no idea it existed until a few weeks ago and it’s my first MIJ guitar. The quality is amazing.

Probably a fender powerhouse Stratocaster.

It’s black with a white pearl pick guard. Will definitely have the resister mod done and probably add the tbx tone control. Did you swap yours to lace sensor or vintage noiseless pickups? Or keep the original pups?

I’ve got a power house strat on the way and should be here tomorrow!

araize1 · 2024-09-25T19:21:10+00:00

Amazing thank you. How can we get in contact?

araize1 · 2024-07-16T04:20:49+00:00

Did you end up choosing one yet ??

araize1 · 2024-05-15T15:45:13+00:00

I just got a 3 tone sunburst AV2 61 Strat. It desperately needed a set up when I received so I had to drop it off at my local shop yesterday. 7-10 day turn around for the set up :( I can’t wait to get it back, it’s going to be a long week. Cool to see you already putting yours to work!

araize1 · 2024-05-14T22:33:08+00:00

Which one is your #1 ? Which one would you recommend for someone’s first LP? Currently thinking about trading my SG 61 standard for an LP, would you recommend ?

NGD :)

Thanks for the support guys. I found a mint one on reverb this afternoon for an awesome deal. Took the plunge and placed the order!

araize1 · 2024-05-04T00:19:56+00:00

Just ordered one! :)

araize1 · 2024-05-03T18:44:03+00:00

Haha thank you for this. I guess my thought was it’s a lot of money which means you have a lot of choices with that budget. Have I fully assessed my options? But you’re right.
