Without music, what's the point?

I took this picture of Mike's backline after a show in Chicago, a few years back.

My 1973 Maestro EP-3, 2000 Fender strat, and a small box 18 watter I built myself. I was told the EP used to belong to the Animals as part of their American backline. Their lots of fun, and nothing else sounds like them. I'll try and make a video and post it.

Psychedelic heaven. My 59 pink paisley tele reissue and fuzz box from Wren and Cuff. Channeling plenty of Syd Barrett and David Gilmore this friday.

My 91 Les Paul and 72 Fender Champ. When I found the Champ about 10 years ago, it was barely used, unmodified, with original tubes. It had belonged to the grandfather of the girl selling it, and I promised to give it a good home. When I got it, the sound was a little dull and flat. I replaced the tubes and voila, it was crispy, punchy, and touch sensitive.
