I hear ya, the 20s Gibson L3 is my ultimate dream guitar. Gibson has been re-issuing the L1 lately which is similar (same shape, different styling) for ~$2500 but it's not nearly as cool as a genuine L3.



Good lord just look at the thing.

Marshalls can be buttrock fuel but they cut through and record very well. Get a compression pedal and put on some single wound strings on your guitar and you'll get your jangly sound.

I play a Mesa Boogie Dual Rec 100 watt (bought from Blaze Bailey's guitarist - at the time anyway haha) through a laney cab, PRS SE Clint Lowery Signature Edition and a Schecter Hellraiser Series 6 solo edition with Floyd Rose as a backup.

Big fan of Marshalls but couldn't pass on the Mesa ha

Mesa Boogie>>>>>>>>>>>Marshall for sure

It was (and still is to be fair) in mint condition when I got it, with delivery from down south I paid £915 all in. Was genuinely shocked to see it going on ebay for so little

Team MESA over here as well. The Lonestar Classic 2x12 is still my go to amp for most sounds, although I also have an old Single Rectifier that I run through a Laney cab for metal gigs.

I use to gig with a Mesa DC50 with a 4 x 12" and that rig was loud and rocked like hell.

I currently have an Express 5:25 in a 1 x 10" combo that's gathering dust cause it's too loud for my current situation. Anyone interested?

I love the Express 5:25, great little amp, but I'm not looking to take in more gear right now. I've got no hesitation vouching for its quality if somebody else is, though.
