MOTM

One MOTM user, Robert Poss of the old NYC "noise band" Band of Susans
recommended
a G&L ASAT guitar. These are supposedly a "Strat done right": better
pickups, key & bridge hardware,
wood. Me, I don't know doo doo. I just want a decent guitar to MOTM
interface to and then play. I
sort of like the tone of the Wes Montgomery/Joe Pass/Eric Gale Gibson 335ES
(?) but not
really going to learn to play in that style. Les Pauls are too &#$#& heavy
and the good ones are $1700.
(Unless it's a '61 flame-top at $55,000)

What sort of spurred this on is that my uncle is giving me (for postage) a
dead mint 1972 Fender Dual Showman
amp+ 4X12 cabinet. Has about 10 total hours, been in a closet last 25 years,
never turned on. I'm
told this thing is worth about $2000. And it's a loud Fender amp that is
good for Strat/Tele type playing.
Then I'm getting a Line6 P.O.D. effects job.

Which brings me to myself, the King of Electronics Trivia: The 2 designers
of the aforementioned POD effects
unit also designed what famous analog synth?
