You're just starting out, and have a half-stack? :lol:
Ambitious! Are you playing along to anything, when practicing?

BB KING or John Lee Hooker
HA! Talk about Synchronicity (not the Police song...)
I was just watching some old John Lee Hooker vid of him playing "Boom Boom Boom Boom" and then following up with some little speech about the Blues and an improv (I think).
Watching it I thought, "this could very well be a prototype of the guitar lesson videos from the 80s".

Beautiful!
Thanks. Do you play acoustic or electric generally or both?
Ibanez Iron Label S series, nitro wizard neck...very fast. I played in the 80's and 90's then gave it up. Picked this up last year and it's hard to put down. Playing thru a Blackstar 2x12 2x60 watt stereo amp. My neighbors love me...?
Cool man. Sweet axe. I didn't know Blackstar made a stereo amp. I'll have to look that up. I've got various amps, a reissue 68' Fender Deluxe Reverb and a reissue Supro 1600 Supreme. Both are great!

Cool i know what you mean. The neck width is smaller too at the nut than most standards and neck depth shallower, very comfortable neck. Yours looks mostly original from the pic. Tuners, knobs, pickups?. Mine was changed out when I bought it. Mine had prob late 70's Grover tuners, speed knobs (in place of original witch hat knobs), and Dimarzio white Super Distortions. All changed out before I bought it. I had a refret done about 3 years ago and it does play like butter. Do you have original frets or?

The tuners look original but one thing I notice. The bridge looks like an abr style replacement instead of the bigger original Nashville bridge that came on them.
