Well, it was a steal for a Suhr. It was a pro, so it was off the peg, rather than built to spec. Second hand, built in 2008, and it cost me £1,400.Naffa - that is pretty, how much if you don't mind me asking?
Your making me regret my rasmus you git.

Its crushed purple velvet, its not a great amp either its not too bad but I no longer had room for my old setup
Mesa Boogie Mark IV. Totally amazed at it's capabilities. Very compact (although as heavy as my Marshall 4x12!!! I think it's actually made of lead!) Plenty of bottom end from EV. Nice cleans, great crunch, nice singing sustain. 6l6/el34's, switchable class A, variac, triode/pentode, push pull fat, bright, bass shift, mid shifts, several DI outs that sound great into pa/ear monitors!, switchable reverb tank, 4 sounds at the tap of a foot.
Honestly, it can do 90% as a good as a Deluxe Reverb clean, 90% as nice drive as my plexi cranked, 90% as nice as an ac30 cranked, great smooth articulate dumble like od's, then of course Santana like lead tones. Actually it's the most articulate amp I've ever used, pick attack can take you so far. Amazed. Just how they made something than get's within 10% of all the greatest amps is beyond me.
I've always hated multi-channel amps, always preferred a single channel amp, a one trick pony that has a truly great trick. This has so many. If you get the chance give one a whirl.

Epiphone BB king lucille, 2001 korean made
vox ac15cc1 & pedals
vox jaguar.
organ needs a service to get it working, love that sound though
I finally have something to show off in here
Tangle-wood TSB67 and a Line6 Spider IV 15 amp
I would use the old "Sorry about the pics, only had an iphone" line but in fairness, it was probably more down to the lighting.

Some £80 classical guitar I bought whilst at uni that I strummed on for a few days then never used again :x
And on the other thing behind it I am currently learning this:

not a new bit of gear but i got bored so ive made my amp prettier
I'm really digging the look of that amp.
Cheers dude, it took a screwdriver, some bostik spray adhesive, a couple of meters of crushed purple velvet and just over an hour. I'm happy with the finish but its definatly a love or hate thing
A bit of a departure for me, and from the normal type of gear in the thread:
It's a Clavichord, the general design of which dates from the 15th century or so. They were the traditional cheap, everyday keyboard instrument of the Renaissance and Baroque era. Each note has two strings, which are struck by metal tangents attached to the keys. The keys are simple levers with the fulcrum in the middle. As you push the key down, the tangent rises and strikes the strings. So your fingers are in "direct" contact with the strings as you play.
The downside is that it's very quiet. The upside is that it's incredibly expressive - you can use finger pressure to add vibrato to the notes, for example.
It's handmade from scratch by a friend in the next village who built it 15 or 20 years ago, and has barely played it since. It's been lent to me on long term loan, as he'd rather it was actually played again, rather than sitting languishing in a cupboard.
It's tuned it a tone down from concert pitch (I was going for a semitone under, but the strings felt like they weren't going to take it - I actually snapped one and had to restring it!). I'm going to let it settle for a few months in its new home before I bring it up a semitone.

Easily the best guitar I have ever played so I bought another -
Fantastic! I've only ever played one clavichord but it was an interesting experience. I am jealous
I'm much more familiar with harpsichords and would love to own one one day, but the tuning aspect kind of puts me off a bit. Very amusingly, I've played the harpsichord professionally
To my surprise, the instrument I'd practiced on turned out to be much much worse than the concert instrument, which meant that despite thinking I was absolutely shocking it actually sounded remarkably decent in the concert given my total lack of harpsichord training On an unrelated note, I'm just completing a total switching over of most of my music gear. I promise to get some pics of it all sorted once it's all bought / sold / sorted and I'll post them in this thread

What hangers are they?
Ok, a few pics of some of my new stuff:
I've sold most of my kit and have simplified down to a Nord Stage 2 76 keyboard and, for most gigs, either one or both of QSC K8 speakers you see there. 2 x 1000W is good for being able to compete with the guitarists
And the fidelity is excellent, much better than the low-end Mackie stuff I was using until recently.
