Homeskoolin’ Volume 635, Tom Bukovac, “Dad’s Old Amp”

Tube amps are on their way out , haven’t you heard?? Well, not in this town… Uncle Larry thought you guys might enjoy a quick gander at this lovely old 1966 Fender Vibrolux that he purchased recently from the Sutton family. Bryan’s dad Jerry bought this amp AND the factory black 1959 Gibson ES-345 that you always see Keith Urban rocking out on, for 150.00 back in about 1968, in Asheville NC. (No I’m not kidding) I owned that ES-345 for a while, I had it TOTALLY restored…the thing was a BASKET CASE when I first got it….literally in pieces. Greg Voros did all the extensive restoration work on it….when it was done it turned out AMAZING. Even though I loved it , I could tell it wasn’t MY guitar…I sold it to Keith and it has literally been his personal favorite guitar for about 10 years now . Old guitars are cool….you’re cool
