The Return of Guitar Porn! By Request




So, very few people may read this blog, but the ones who do were pissed at me for not having guitar porn in quite a while, so here is a long awaited double dose for you git and amp fans...

A mid 1960's SANO guitar (probably a re-branded Goya model), made in Italy with a SWEET, fast neck and a surprisingly deep, bassy tone out of the neck pickup...

Played through its newest friend, a 1966 LECTROLAB S400 which, after a re-cap and a tune up is officially my favorite practice amp ever (kicks a Champ's ass). Great overdrive from an EL 84 output tube through 2 eight inch speakers...and a AWESOME throbby tremolo. If you can find one of these, get one. The re-issues are pretty rad, too, but this original (date stamped Nov. 14, 1966, which makes it five months younger than me-ha!) is just too much.

Coming next: Rejected Band Names!

uh i have a not-so-great question : i have a sano 4 string bass and was wondering how much it might be worth...
 
I owned that same guitar when I was a kid, it had been in the family, and my grandma gave it to me. They are so hard to find, let me know if you would consider selling it. that particular model has a lot of sentimental value to me.
