I had one of the original katana 50 amps. I played through it around the time when I had my kemper and thought it was cheap and toy-like. Back-story - Around the same time, my dad retired from...
Thanks again guys. Yes, I play with my fingers (both rhythm and lead). I also thought that Nelson plays with guitar volume turned down to increase acoustic sound, and I am doing that too. I am...
You may be right because the Guitar Dater Project website says this guitar is also Korean: 1980's Epiphone Emperor (F) Archtop (Pre-owned) – Mak's Guitars However, all the Japanese made...
A little honey colored Mohawk pro pen marker on the top cracks and an overspray on the top and she will look brand new again. It's nice to see that there are still a few great craftsmen still around...

When I read your first post once again after all the answers you've had by now, I realize you have a very complete arsenal of guitars. Archtop, Telecaster, flat top. I didn't really take notice at...

Pleasantly surprised at the Katana 50 for a clean...
