Nice! That same SG model was my first guitar (some time around 1981), but in the wine red:

...the headstock came off it 3 times, so the body/neck got sold off, but the pickups/pots/switch/jack/tuners still live on in my '75 L6S Deluxe:

:D

It was cracked off and VERY poorly repaired when I got it, and at some point opened back up again. I had it repaired again (still kinda low-budget fix, though), it opened back up again. I finally sold it to a friend that was an apprentice to an excellent luthier, and it's probably been fine since then.

Never dropped or abused (while I had it), just a very thin neck and a bad initial break.

My end of the practice space. It all looks prettier with the right head sitting on the right stack but you get the picture. When we play out I use all of this. Doom!

And yes, that is "the" Ampeg V9. 300 watt guitar amp. I play it through an Acoustic research Folded 18 cab with a Cerwin Vega. Got bottom end?
 
Main gigging amp, Bogner Shiva EL34/reverb head and 112 ported cab.

Fargen modified DRRI

Custom 5E3 clone in walnut cab I built

Vox AC15C1

Also have a 95 or 96 Fender Blues Deluxe and an older PV Classic 30.
 
I didn't realize how popular/prevalent those 5E3 kits are. Wow.
I do love my '55 and can definitely understand why people'd clone them.

Another Ampeg fan!


I'd almost give my left nut to have my V4 cab back. It had original CTS speakers and was the best 4x12 I've heard to this day. I did load it with 417 Altecs but went back to the CTS' as they just sound better in the cab to me.

I make do with my VT-22 2x12 cab for now until I can track down another V4. Had an array of different V series heads but found the 4x10 VT-40 to be one of my favorites.

For me, Traynor heads and V4 cabs are made for each other.

I have a Sound City SC-120 I have to rebuild, once done I will score a V4 to put it on.....

Here's a pic of the VT-22 2x12 with my Traynor YSR-1 on it....

Yeah my "practice amp" VT-22 is so damn versatile. I'm in love with it after many years. I have a small collection of BK butler real tubes and tube drivers that I put in front of the VT-22 and I'm in heaven with the combo. I will either drive the power section hard or use a BK Butler type preamp/pedal nowadays although the ampeg pre is nothing to scoff at. If you look on the left of the picture I have two more V4 cabs stacked up in the corner.

I did notice those V4's in the corner....making a trip to Sin City soon.....? :thmbsp:

I've had the VT-22 combos as well. The VT-22 I have now is just a closed back 2x12. It's stock and not a chopped combo.
