Marshall 2203 (1979)+Hiwatt DR504 (1975)

I filmed this unedited video a year ago.That day I could fire up my British amp rig without getting arrested and/or evicted.It was quite loud and I apologize for the mic overload.No real cleans here,just crunch.I'm only noodling and playing with my toys.

Nice quilted maple top! Is it clear gloss finish or something else? It looks very "goldish"

@brint2000 It's a Pensa-Suhr Mk1 style finish:Danish oil basecoat+Nitro topcoat.The finish is very thin so the guitar is extremely 'alive' and resonant.Thanks for your comment!

Am looking at buying an early '70s Hiwatt DR504 , can I ask your opinion of the amp?

Cheers

@59TweedVibrolux It's probably one of the best amps ever made.Set up properly,with the right speaker cabinet (an original 4x12 from the same era is a must),it's a truly spectacular 3D sound experience.

what kinda wood is the tele and neck made up of?

[komimakojaketu]

@FriendNotFoeBand Honduras Mahogany neck with Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard,Honduras Mahogany body with Quilted Maple top.

@Cincinnatification Modified early Seymour Duncan Jeff Beck (bridge) and modified Hamer Steve Stevens 1 (neck).They do sound good,don't they?
