For all my gearhead friends! My live set up last weekend: 1962 Reverb (Yes, the Nightriders tank!), 1963 Showman, 2000 (CIJ) Jaguar in sonic blue with amazing sounding "Pickup Whizard" pickups!
Twang cheers!

Ralph is an international playboy !
Blondes have more fun...
Sweet---is that white coil cord from '63 too?
that is some sweet gear porn there.
color me jealous.
Ladies love sonic blue, or maybe they just love Ralf Kilauea?
For all the debate about whether or not you need real vintage surf gear to have a real vintage surf sound, whenever I see a setup like this, I know it's the right gear to have to play surf music. There's good enough, there's close, there's acceptable, there what you've got, and then there's this.
Can't describe my feelings!
Where's my drool bib?
Amazing setup! Really cool, I bet it sounds incredible!
Hopefully Ralph got luckier than the guitar did.
Is this one loud enough for my bedroom

What type speaker are you using in that cab? Thanks.
The standard 15" speaker JBL D130F.
Is there a good substitute? Let me know.
Hey, I "collected" the lipstick kisses on the guitar while the concert. No joke. They are from very nice sexy girls.
Do such things while playing a gig. It is fun for you and the audience! In Berlin the girls loved it.
Fantastic. I just acquired a CIJ Sonic Blue Jag...sans kisses though!
Toll!
