Nigel,
the variax sounds very good through the tube amp indeed. I prefer my Strat for 1) The CS '54 PUPs can't be matched 2) the strat sound on the variax is good, but still not the real thing. 3) Body contour. 4) I've become a tube and vintage freak
In addition like you say Nigel, there's something about knowing it's the guitar making the sound and not electrons!
I'm pleased to discover all the interest and knowledge of guitar on the arranger forum!
For me the arranger world has backed up my needs to procure music as a well payed job in addition to my day job. Great fora, Nigel!
Russ, thanks for starting this thread!
