It's a made-for-CIJ Fender that I bought off Darren Riley. Even so, there must've been changes to the CIJ Fenders over the years because I had to do a bit of filing around the neck pocket and not all of the screw holes line up. I really ought to get around to do the old drill out/dowel trick but I was overcome with relief that it's as close to complete as it is. The pearl effect looks really nice though!

You mean this one? I've just bought this exact same one and it doesn't fit my 65RI; so I assume it's for a CIJ '69RI. Filing won't do any good - the holes for the pickups are too far apart and don't allow them to fit in the body cavity.

Is that a Fender Bronco amp? (The Vibro champ copy that came with Fender Bronco Guitars)

Yep, a 73. Recapped, with an NOS Raytheon power tube, and the original preamp and rectifier tubes. And a Jensen MOD Speaker, while the original one is off being reconed.

It's got a temp grill on it though that I made of particle board and spare Laney Grillecloth. The original grill got a little bit warped due to the humidity where its previous owner lived, so right now it's between the two Kustom cabs on the left being slowly flattened to its original shape.

I have a Vibro Champ and until recently I had the Blues Junior as well. The Vibro Champ is with me today for guitar lessons. The Bronco ones are identical to the Vibro Champ except for the name and red lettering. Fantastic amps. 20lb tube amp with tremolo. You can't beat it. The Bronco Amp is more rare because it was paired with the Bronco guitars as a set. When you think about all the cheap Strat packs you can buy now, A Bronco guitar and Bronco amp is an incredible pairing.

Oh, absolutely. It's my main recording amp - until recently, it lived in the studio. When my friends are recording, I tend to lend it or rent it to them (depending on how long they need it for/how much I trust them). It's almost completely paid for itself in rental fees

How do you get on with the Egnater (is it a Rebel 20 or 30?) I really fancy a Tweaker as a small home head but would be interested to hear your opinion on the Rebel.

It is reallly really bright. I've used it for practice and with a 1x12 it is too quiet for a bandpractice. 6v6 vs EL84 control is really cool. It's a friends so I haven't recorded with it or used it all that much.
