Oh, that's an 83 Fender Concert made in conjunction with Riviera.

Looks to be a 1x12 and commonly loaded with EV Force 12 speakers.

(sorry, couldn't resist! BEAUTIFUL GUITAR!!!)

(oh, and I've got a 2x10 rivera concert)

LOL, Fred. I knew you did. Didn't have to post it! HA!!!!!
Mine is loaded with Jensen Neos vs the 2 EV's that made it unmovable.

Slick amp but she lives at the rehearsal spot....

I just sold the amp to a good friend to get some cash for an SMS Classic.

The guitar is a custom made by Bill Asher (who also makes Ben Harper lap steel guitars among things). Built in 1997 (yes, it took the whole year). I first played it on NYE '97-'98 opening up for the Dave Nelson Band. The guitar has all the main construction and wood of Tiger.

I wanted to see if the wood choice really makes that big of a deal to the "TONE" (I had a modified PRS w/Super IIs prior). The conclusion is "yes it does"!

It is still a dream to play.

Sweet Axe! The Maple has a nice matured look to it.
Believe it or not, I am still waiting on my amp Jim! Should get it today. K-120's soon to be.

Sweet guitar man

Yes, the guitar is nice and broken in and matured. I can't get enough of it. I love to play it every day (even for 10-15 mins) just to enjoy the tone.

Keir - I can't believe you're still waiting on your amp! I took my amp in to a local guy to get rid of some noise (because my tech friend was out of town) and I got it back in 5 days. The thing is quiet now.

jkstraw - The mini-toggle nearest the bridge is the OBEL switch. I wanted to have it close by. The other ones are for the pickups (which I don't use that much).
