Maximum Overdrive 1931 NY License Plate Guitar

4 single coils played through my Fender Champ 5w tube amp with no effects. Not the loudest out of the little amp and I couldn't find my iRig mic. I'll record some more when I'm back home with the 65W Stage Amp.

Thanks! I've continued to practice that tune. It's the first one the guitar played to me.

Sounds really nice Eric!!!

Nice pickin' too man!

I didn't think the Greta was too bad on price when you compare it with the cost of most other valve amps.

£155 is about the cost of most decent effects pedals, some much much more.

I treated myself to a Vox VT20+ a while ago and that was only £129 brand new !

I'm well pleased with that, my only gripe is the lack of a 1/4 jack output. It only has a small stereo headphone socket, which is bit half arsed..but hey... for the money !

Just looked at the Greta.  Cool amp.  Little steep on the price.  I think I got my Champ for $75 or so.

Sounds as sweet as it looks :0)

That little Valve amp is very mellow. I've got a hankering after the Fender Greta Valve amp.

Thanks guys.  Just got back home to NY with the guitar in the back of the Jeep.  Will probably plug in to night, but may not record.  Trying to compose a overdriven tone song.  Lyrics are written (by someone else) and needs a good riff.

Like the sound from that build.

Sorry, Eric.  That incident put an end to my babysitting career.   But you turned out okay.  By our standards.

Comment by Bad Finger (Eric) on April 23, 2014 at 1:16am

Thanks everyone!  The guitar and I are a lot alike.  Crusty, ugly and dropped on our heads a children.

If you want to be perfect, clamp your glue joints and us a carpenter's square.  Or be twisted like me.  Most of my guitars will have the twisted scarf joint head stock now.  I have another idea for a similar look as well.
