My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    yeah the bel-aires they should be fairly decent amplifiers. I believe the tube compliment is EL84

    I know there MTS series is a very good value. I've thoroughly flogged a 5881 X100B for a few hours with a Schecter PT and it was excellent. even through a dumpy 4x12

    yea,thats the ones.

    i think the 1-12 would suit me for what i'm doing......

    i've played thru their bass amps a few times,i think they put out a good product as amps go.

    i've never played one of their guitars or basses.

    The 175 thinline Acoustic I got to play was custom shop quality all around, the playability is phenominal. As far as value goes, the customs are probably some of the best out there for the money.

    it's funny no one really seems to talk about their products much.

    as for electrics,i like the looks of the holdsworth models.

    i probably would have checked out their basses back in the day,but i wasnt too crazy about how the top horn extended out.the woods sure look nice in the pictures though.

    They are not the most ornate, or the finest wood ever gracing an instrument what have you, but their CNC milling is very good, and they really just give you basic guitars and give you a few custom options to reduce cost and time to build but essentially they build really really nice guitars for the cash. The playability and initial quality are as good as any major builder at any price, when you consider you are saving maybe 5 to 700 bucks over a comprably equipped fairly standard PRS the California Carved top CT6 is an outstanding value. Hell you could put timbuckers in one (if you can find them) or some Suhr DSH+'s or Harmonic Design and have an even better guitar. The playability is phenominal.
