Man, I should have bought one of those years ago. I almost picked up one the the Japanese 50s reissues back when they were new. They are really excellent guitars, although I don't like 7.25 necks.
I still love listening to the music, but it's a shame that grown men act the way they do. All of them, even Wolf. Fighting on the internet like 13 year old gamers.
No, the companies that build them dont intend for them to be used lightly. Everyone uses the same resistors, no voodoo in there. A 100 watt amp is small potatoes in the world of electronics.
