i want to start off by thanking everyone for their input!
after lots of research and trying out only a few. i hopped on a deal way too good to pass up.
2 weeks ago i got an email from a nearby shop saying they are going out of business. at the time i was completely undecided and not seriously looking into a specific brand/amp. since i was undecided and they're website didn't have much about their inventory i dismissed the sale.
the other day i was in guitar center getting some strings and a new strap. as i walked into the guitar section i hear someone playing (as usual). as i was picking out a strap i realized the sound was beautifully clean. initially i thought it was a fender, but when i walked over it was a mesa lone star special. i thought wow this amp sounds amazing. so i immediately look at the guitar he is playing. a les paul traditional! aww yeah.
i have heard nothing but good things about mesa. they were on the top of my list as is, but this put them at the top. then i looked at the price of the lss. $1800, doh!! not what i was looking to spend. so i left thinking i am going to look around and see what the used prices look like. used i seen them between $1200 and $1500. so much for the lss. i thought no big deal there are plenty of amps out there for $1000 or less. i am going to set my limit at $1000.
this pops up on craigslist from the exact shop that sent me the going out of business email..........
