Is that a flat chested girl, or a really queer looking dude? [img]graemlins/brow.gif[/img]

Apologies in advance for the following rant
[img]graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]
I've always wondered [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] about what's going through the mind of an unknown guitarist, posing for some company's ad campaign.

It's not like it's Warren or George [img]graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img] who were setting trends technically and otherwise.

If this were a caption contest, I'd venture to guess that this guy's thoughts are, "Damn do I feel cool...here I am trying to strike an Eddie pose, w/ a flashdance hairdo, and pants that accenuate my oversized legs [img]graemlins/brow.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/puke.gif[/img] I'm gonna score! [img]graemlins/brow.gif[/img]

And for the record, I was a teenager in the eighties and that outfit looked stupid back then! [img]graemlins/eyes.gif[/img]

I was pointing to the fact that the GUITAR is a San DImas Guitar. Most early 80's Strats with vintage trems have been passed all over the NET and the world. This is just one that I've never seen before.

Thats a great guitar, and I don't remember very many people in the 80's who DIDN'T look that rediculous including my Rock Star wannabe self! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

The amp maker is Bob Rissi, and he is a cool guy. His story is similar to Wayne Charvel. He had some cool amps in the day and is starting back up in the boutique amp biz...

I am waiting to get one of his "Marvel " amps

The guitar player is Benny, a local friend of the owners and club player. He is at least 24 years older than when that picture was taken. Keep in mind that this amp company was just a guy building a quality amp that I had the good fortune to play thru in 82. His business was underfunded and he closed it and moved on. I wish him the best and think his new amp will sell like hot cakes...

The Rissons if you can find them are always a great buy and have a real unique sound Between a Marshall and a Fender. Not bad when you see them for 200.00 or plus bucks.

I remember that kid back then I was in Bobs Shop when CC Deville would come by with Rikki Rocket and Bobby. The kid in the photo was if I remember an EXRTREME "watch what you eat because the world dont wand FAT rock stars.

[img]graemlins/puke.gif[/img] I mean, who cares about tone, chops and phrasing? [img]graemlins/eyes.gif[/img] all that matters is looks!! [img]graemlins/brow.gif[/img] RIGHT!

Re: Ever seen this before? San Dimas &amp; Risson

Well you stumbled onto a great thing here. If bob comes out with these amps you will have a great home/gig amp in one as it will be low wattage and great sound... Look for the Marvel on his site
