I sold my old solid state amp and got the AC30 I’d always wanted but that was too loud and wouldn’t stick. I found an ’85 Rickenbacker to replace the one I’d sold back in the early 90’s. It made the Gretsch seem shabby, so I traded it in for a Country Gentleman, which was beautiful. I bought a Squier Custom II Tele for the p90s but thought it could sound better. Turns out it could.
