isang nakikita ko is yung australian approach vs american. maski sa australian luthiers and techs, nakikita ko din to.
example lang, one famous australian luthier told me that its impossible for one to change / lengthen the abr posts on a gibson LP as there are no commercially available posts that would do the job. samantala ang tagal tagal na ng Maple Flame mod na yan.
one guitar tech told me pareho lang specs / dimensions ng modern Gibson standard / historic LP sa Lumang 50s gibson LP.
masyadong american tayong mga pinoy, kasi naman former american colony.
sa akin lang, there's a reason kung bakit USA ang laging nangunguna pag dating sa guitar, amps etc.
kung mapansin niyo lang masyadong mabusisi sila pag dating sa tone. kasing busisi ng hapon pag dating sa kotse at electronics.
i agree....whatever rocks your boat..
but those amps became famous for a reason. and the marshalls that i see in australian chain stores are NOT those from the olden days. having had tried boutique amps (TY FM55) and a few old amps, i can say, again, there's a reason why they're famous. no two tube amps of the same model and brand sound the same too. some of the guys here have vintage amps. some have tried vintage amps as well. some have collections of those boutique amps. these amps, wala sa australia. some aussie techs and luthiers are not even aware of the boutique brands and notable luthiers.
let us also not forget, that part of the equation is also about having a good guitar. hindi mailalabas ng magandang amp ang sipol kung hindi naman sumisipol ang gitara.
