LOL, I wasn't expecting that as a response, but valid nonetheless.

Hm, as well as I can remember, it was a new pickup for my Epi Howard Roberts, still sitting in its box after probably a year. Need to do some work on its bridge first.

Sweet!!! I'm not familiar with Cusack. The screamer - is it a tube screamer?

I really liked mine when I first got it. But it now sits unused because I can't get anything but loud clean sounds from it. I would trade it for a thirty Watt decent tube amp.
You need an overdrive pedal for that amp! Something to push it at lower volumes.

Yah, it's one of the many, many tube screamer derivatives out there, but one of the best that I've ever heard. It can be its own overdrive pedal that ranges from chimey to pure fuzz, or you can use it in front of a distortion or heavier overdrive to put it over the top. I use it solo about 75% of the time and then to boost the Luna when I want some crunch on the Les Paul. It's a great pedal.

I have some real nice amps, but the one I bring out the most is my Carvin Vintage 16 combo. Easy to carry and it has all kinds of awesome tone. 16 watts and I've never had an issue keeping up. Great amp that I found for $350 4 years ago

I only got her on the weekend so not had a chance to even think of a name yet, but Tiger seems apt.

Hey s2y, what kind of guitar is that? I can't read the headstock.

Tiger is a great name for it, or "Stripes"

I enjoy it. Getting used to acoustic archtop strings and action. WOW. Makes my acoustic feel like a toy.

A little palm muting and some inverted 5ths make me feel like I'm playing bass and guitar at the same time.
