Ha ha!!! Technology is amazing Greg!!

Absolutely I’ll send it to you along with the Heritage Guitar of your choice

Since you haven’t tried it out, don’t knock it I’ll put it up against anything tube you got in your basement!! and I’ll bet a cigar

Fender ToneMaster. You won’t regret it.

I know. Why the heck did I part with that beautiful geetar!

😂

I have a few of his instructional books. He presents the material in a very straightforward manner.

Great story about a well respected man and his craft. I’m curious about the loaded pistol in his shop. Do you think he would have ever hesitated to use it if in a precarious situation?

I know you love those Tim, but I detest them!!

Well, that means you need to study the fretboard more if that’s your “crutch” 🤣

Sadly, he went from gate guard at the retirement home to resident at the retirement home.

Dumble is a Dumble just like a dumbbell is a dumbbell

You mean, you never owned a Dumble amp? I thought everybody has.

Jay Wolfe may be able to find you one if it exists.

That’s interesting

What’s up with the silver sharpie markings on the rear the headstock?

Customer!? Now you’re in the business of doing Guitar work for people for compensation? Interesting.!!!

What is interesting to me is the sloppy scribbling on the yellow tag - either the employee was drunk or hung over from the night before? You would think they would take a little more care in writing on a tag that would be on that guitar forever.

What happened to your 535 from 2016?

I have the Katana Go headphone amp. I bought it when it first hit the market and then they pulled them off the market and nobody knew if they were gonna come back but now they’re back with about a 15% price increased over the original. I have one of the original models. It’s a lot of fun when you’re in a hotel room you put on headphones that you can get all these cool guitar sounds that come from the Katana amplifier itself.

Do Fender Tonemaster amps fall into the category? I know you were impressed. Mine (Deluxe) continues to wow me. I recently downloaded the latest Firmware update to it (2025) which apparently removed the “virtual bright cap” from channel 2 among other things like adding more IR’s.

Job complete in 30 minutes or less. The most annoying part was the Reverb tank kept wanting to draw itself to the huge speaker magnet on my deluxe.

I have the same amp, a 2006 reissue, cover and all. Yes it’s heavy. I also have a Super reissue and a Deluxe reissue, as well as a Supersonic 60. I must be nuts!!!

A 6 hour drive with no guarantees you will be able to speak with Ren or even less likely, Jim. Might be easier to get in touch with Ren by email or phone. Those are basically the last of the original clan that you could potentially speak to. Notice I said “potentially”.
