Hey Guys This is Kick ass. I ordered a 2nd Steel King from Bobby Seymores over thanksgiving. I always wanted an amp with White Tolex like the Barbara Mandrel Variety Show Always used . I always thought it looked realy cool so I asked Bobby's Guitar Teck Danny
to reccommend somebody. What a great idea that was. Rick Johnson does work that is flawless. I can't believe that it wasn't done at the Fender factory when I look at. He also put a gold Sparkle Grill Cloth on it and he reccommended I get rid of those cheap ass plastic factory knobs and replace with Gold Telecaster Guitar Knobs with White Mother of Pearl tips to compliment the makeover which I did. Then I superglued Rhinestones on the mother of pearl for indicator markers. Im really proud of this amp. What do you guys think?

BEAUTIFUL! I LIKE IT! Rick does quality work, there's no doubt about it. But I'm just a lowly musician. I can't afford beauty.

| You better believe its heavy. I normally won't use 2 amps though. It was New Years Eve so I felt like splerging with my new amp and all. Hauling this Rig will encourage me to keep working out so I won't hurt myself moving it. |

 Listen folks my buddie ''Ricky Joe'' does an awsome job on all his cabinet work . He made me a two peice unit out of one of my Nashville 400's and it looks great and it also sounds better with the bigger bottom cabinet . I suggest that if anyone is looking for quality cabinet to get in touch with Rick . He is at master at his craft in my opinion ! |

| My thoughts exactly. I hope to get a White universal sometime in the next 5 years. It will have to be something special that comes along once in a while at a good price or I'll have to have it made to order. I wish the Mileniums came in universal on a double frame with pad but i don't think they are set up for that. |

The good folks at MSA will gladly build you an SD-12 Legend or Studio Pro. Dean Parks has U-12 Studio Pro with a D-12 body and a pad. I had a chance to play it and really liked it. But it is considerably heavier than my Milly, so if like me, you consider weight to be important, you might want to get a single Millennium without a pad.
