Re: Z Wreck

Thanks for a great report. I saw your earlier question (pasted below) which I thought was spot on. Did you have a chance to ask him that? How does he ensure consistent customer experience with such a challenging circuit? Loved my Z-Wreck which I recently had to sell due to pressing needs. What I fin...

Re: Starting a storefront

Are you close to this shop : http://www.austinguitarhouse.com/ The owner is a forumite from TGP called Oz. He started this business a while back and is doing a great job from what I hear. Why not reach out to him and see how he handles his amp repairs. As many others suggested it might be a good ide...

Wait what? So you are not stranded while overseas and mugged? You don't actually need a few bucks to get to the embassy? Who did I send the $$ to then? :roll: Oh well...
