Funny bcuz you say haven't played song since '84, and that's about how long I've been wanting to play guitar "good". Just a long time on off dabbler, but now later in life going to take another shot at actually learning something and sticking with it! Excited to get my own VT20/40x amp soon! Just did Jamvox 3 demo and was impressed, at least for what I want to do! Getting a license key for that too! Should be great to have the VT series amp to use both in Jamvox/Tone Room and when offline amp only after getting familiar with it, tones, and favorites discovered. . Great to find someone else who is excited by and enjoying the same stuff! Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

Welcome Tony! I do look fwd to getting the new amp to help inspire me to keep learning, and have fun at same time! Undecided between 20 and 40 model as once I get a little better may want to play with a drummer every blue moon.. but realistically, even the 20x one will get 90% of its use at low power control setting for room use. Not sure I should spend extra money now for eventual better fit, or just wait and see what I might want when at that level of playing.... any thoughts appreciated! I have a Fender Mustang v1 with 8 in speaker and sounds great actually, just don't like that I need to use it with computer for most it's goodness. Again, thanks for enthusiasm, amp feature share, and cool song demo!

Did a quick google search. It's speculated that he used a 60s, brown tolex-era, Fender Vibrolux for this song. Model numbers 6G11, and 6G11A for first and second revision respectively.

Yeah, it's really nice, I have another Strat with SSS 50's pickups, it's really nice but I wanted a Strat with a humbucker so I wouldn't have to change guitars so much. One of the best decisions I've made. If you put the switch in the number 2 position it uses one side of the humbucker and the middle and it sounds just like an SSS strat, but when you need all bridge you get that full on humbucker. Locking tuners were a must for me. I think I've got the tremolo set about right. Strings are still kinda new so it goes out of tune if I hit it too hard. I have been putting guitar grease on the nut and saddles. I also put 5 springs in the back since I use 12's.
