Drew... was that guitar played by anyone even remotely attached to the Sgt. Pepper project? It is cool though.

I'm surprised you got to see the pic., it came up for me the first time I viewed it but since then all I see is the fortune city ad.I'm pretty sure that everyone who has played them did, in fact, listen to Sgt. Pepper many times. Does that count?That guitar and amp have been together since they left the showroom floor in '65. I bought them in the early '70's, as a mere lad, from the original owner. You should hear them play.

Yeah, 4x10's, the most crisp clean sound and best reverb ever made.My son keeps claiming that amp as his own, I told him "you want one, go buy one"I remember your '65 story, so tragic. I would hunt the guy down like a dog.

I gig thru a Mark III Mesa, best and favorite amp I've ever owned besides the Super Reverb which I only record with now (though I think I'd like a SLO 100 too, or many other WAAAY more expensive amps)If you are asking "should I get one" I say "definitely"We were playing a New Years party one night and the other guitar player was using two 100 watt Marshalls, at a break a guy came up to me and said "You sound great through those Marshalls", he didn't believe me when I pointed at my amp, a 1x12 combo with a 1x12 ext. cab.I'm sure Sgt. Pepper plays through a Mesa as well.
