(I'm looking at you, you pair of Pawn Shop Excelsior amps that are NOT cutting it for me!)<br /><br />Recently got a CV BSB Tele, which got me on this forum, then followed it up with a 1999 Danelectro 12 String (hey, I need a 12 string in my arsenal!) and a circa 1940 Regal lap steel (ditto).<br /><br />My GAS has been somewhat satiated, though I did have a line on a sweet CL deal: a $350 as-new Vox AC15C1 and I was first in line to look at it. Long story, but the seller let someone else cut in front of me. Oh, well.<br /><br />So, with that loss in mind, I happened to read this article, about Deniz Tek and his Epi Crestwood. I'd barely heard of this model, but seeing pics of it and reading the story, GAS set in quickly. Off to google it, and it turns out the nearest equivalent still made and cheap is the Wilshire. A little more research and I'm sold on this model. Look around and don't find too much info to differentiate the Pro and Worn models, but eventually decide that what I want is the Worn, since it has mini-humbuckers and I need that flavor since they are more traditional to that model. Then it transpires that they are not being sold any longer, even though they are listed as backordered on a number of sites--wrong, they are gone. (Pro models in a color or two are still around, though.)<br /><br />That sent me on a frenzy to find a Worn one. Lots of eBay searching and I finally found this baby on Reverb. The guy took $300 plus $19 shipping for it. (Only slightly cheaper than the street price of $349, but no tax.) It goes out Tuesday!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512068557251658315.post-68092410393418685592014-05-24T06:50:08.625-04:002014-05-24T06:50:08.625-04:00I like this story & The Detroit Rock'N'...I like this story & The Detroit Rock'N'Roll Magazine !!!<br />Thanks Kim !MIDNIGHT RAMBLERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131353344556700225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512068557251658315.post-41931215475024542402014-05-22T17:47:18.219-04:002014-05-22T17:47:18.219-04:00Happy to add your credit Tim...that is one of my f...Happy to add your credit Tim...that is one of my favorite photos of Deniz....xKRetro Kimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09639596929861136401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512068557251658315.post-15152830478903566422014-05-22T15:56:51.988-04:002014-05-22T15:56:51.988-04:00pretty awesome writeup...
