No no ive got a x100b fullstack(celestions) from 84 with a early 90's carpeted head that has the factory hotrod added!! Not sure if the drive amp is the one strum is thinking of but I already passed that on as a profit:beer: ;) Pic of chase(carvin ct4 and amp:rockon:)

I like your choice of options on that one man! The Purple looks good on the ash body too. It should be a killer player the only thing I would have done differently is the neck pickup. I can't stand the M22V those only come in around 7 K in DC resistance and tapped are down below 4K. That's a pretty doggone weak neck pickup for a metal styled ax. I like the M22N MUCH better in particular with the SD.
Congrats one one cool ax man and :rockon: :rockon: :AOK:!

I'm not much of a fan of pointy guitars in general, but that's a beauty, Mud. And purple is my favorite color.... :AOK:

I believe it was Neil Young who said that "rust never sleeps". You (like the rest of us) are proof that "GAS never sleeps" either. :AOK: :D :drool:
