great bang for the buck

I really like the Swart Atomic Space Tone, but that's a bit more than I would like to spend on an amp. I do like the classic amps, but there are a lot to choose from.

Maybe I should hold out, save up my pesos and get the Swart AST?

(How come my pic doesn't show?)

Awesome guitar!

As for the picture: right click and click copy image adress.

had a funny tailpiece on it at some point?

Nice guitar, man.
If you're looking at the Swart Atomic (6v6, tube rectified) before you plunk $900 on a 5 watt amp, you might want to look into overhauling one of the small Pepco (Pine electronics) combos from the 60's. They can generally be had for less than $200 on the used market. The configuration and features looks to be about the same as the Swarts. Of course, you'll probably have a fair bit of work to do but in the end, you'll probably save quite a bit.

I see the Pine/Pepco (I think they also had a few other brand names, can't remember though) amps floating around Craigslist/ebay.ca for super cheaps all the time. Generally the speakers and cabinets are utter shit but the amplifiers are really nice fender clones (not sure exactly which Fender schematic) and they sound fantastic with proper speakers.

They're copies of the Fender Champ as are the Swarts I believe. I think the Pepco circuits are made to ressemble late 50's ones.

$250

This sounds realy nice to me have not actualy played though.

Nice guitar - I have its twin - though it's a '62, but neck is marked '61:

The guitar had a maestro vibrato bridge in the past, but was put back to original bridge and the holes professionally filled before I got it.

Cool guitar Thom! Yours looks to be 'less experienced'

Keep coming with the amp suggestions!

Depends what sort or sound you are going for but I love my Fender Princeton Reverb. Lovely little amp.

That is a sweet guitar. Congrats!

Well done sir. That is sweet.

Peavey Classic 30 is a great recommendation as well.

They are the best guitars and the easiest Ive ever played.
