This man is right. We talked about lions' amp already, but I forgot. Is it a Silvertone?

Yup, the box on top is the Ekdahl Moisturizer, external spring reverb with a built-in LFO filter. Pretty wonderful device with a ton of CV ins. It plays really nicely with the Moog MP-201. It's paired with the Silvertone to make up for the weak-ish reverb that's built in. Although the amp's reverb leaves a bit to be desired, it has a pretty unique sounding tremolo

The first guitar I bonded with... unfortunately, I let it fall into disrepair after a heavy period of use and eventually stopped using it very much because I never had the time and money to take care of it. This past birthday my partner took it into a really great shop and got it rewired as a surprise. Best ever.

It's a Kay/Truetone "Red Devil" - early 60's

Damn that is a FINE guitar right there. Love how that thing looks. Is it MIJ or US? Looks almost like a Harmony Rebel and a Rocket made a foxy foxy baby.

From what I've read and from the original parts it looks to be US although the caps and pots have now been replaced, everything else is original. Veryyyy fun to play

That Jazzblaster looks really nice. Would you say the Thurston Moore one is about as dark in real life as in the pic? I was inspired to refinish my bass after seeing one, and I noticed that it seems like the stain looks different from guitar to guitar.

Cool collection.

I think that picture make it look dark - but it kinda changes depending on the light - dark stages make it look nearly black - bright light and you really see the grain of the alder.

Here's a crappy inside light pick of it's current setup:

i love the novak's WRHB's - really a great mix of a humbucker and single coil - you get all the spank, sparkle and then gobs of girth and cut.
