The wife is out of town, so I dragged my stuff out last night for a Family Photo... except I forgot my 1969 Tiesco Del Ray V-2 guitar...



Nope, no real Marshalls, but the Head on the right side is a Marshall 18 watt circuit, put in 6AK6's instead of EL84's to keep it a house friendly 3 watts with a 2204 preamp for extra push..

Is that a generic Les Paul? Somethings seems weird about it But either way, you need more of them!!!

The one on the Right is an old Sears Les Paul clone that use to have built in effects. Those things could eat a 9V battery in 1 hour... That was my first guitar I even attempted any mods on.
I ripped the effects out, made an alumimum cover plate with a switch for each pickup. The neck pickup was swapped for a single coil and the knob isn't a Volume, it is a Tone Control.
The neck is a little twisted, so I mainly use it for slide now.

The one in the Center is a Hondo Professional Model that I refinished. great axe that I just ordered new pickups for.

Thanks for looking.
