Hope you enjoy the gig at Wembley, we last saw Skynyrd at Wembley Arena a few years back with Deep Purple.
Unfortunately neither line up was what you'd consider 'classic'.
Mid you we did see them at the Rainbow in Jan'77. Pre-plane crash.

VERY NICE!! I really can appreciate a nice guitar. I keep promising myself a Gibson Jumbo acoustic but cant really justify it. Love a flying V, think they are stunning. Remember being at the front of a Lenny Kravitz show in the early 90s with him and Craig Ross leaning back to back on each other, thrashing one and a Les Paul. Unbelievable sound!! My lowly Epiphone Les Paul Standard and Washburn Acoustic (with retro fitted pickup) get played a bit more now Ive retired and my acoustic playing has really improved since I started singing the songs I was playing. Certainly helps get the timing right! My Fender Performer 1000 amp never gets used (unless the neighbours annoy me) so I tend to use the little Bronco amp. I'm experimenting with a bluetooth sender and headphones but the minute delay between amp and phones puts me right off my stroke as they say :D

We need more guitar pics....please :thumbright:

Won this recently, for a good price. Been a Pantera fan forever , and the late Dimebag Darrell,my god !!!
This is apparently 1 of 30 that made it to the shelves with "Darbell " instead of Darrell.
Not worth a bomb , but it plays nice and I like it
I used to play a fair bit in the 90's , but have forgotten more than I can remember!
Would love to get into it again.
Will post up my others another time :thumbright:

Nice Gaz....love the amp!!

If I had endless cash, I would love an Orange Amp and one of those old fender tweed amps. Like cars, the sky is the limit with guitars and amps =P~ =P~ =P~ =P~

Some cool guitars. That Washburn looks evil and I’m guessing that Ampeg is heavy due to the acrylic body.

Basically it's a gas turbine (or jet) engine, producing a small amount of thrust (about 100 pounds) as a by-product, the main power being taken from the shaft through a reduction gearbox where it gives around 200 horsepower. There is also an air bleed from the compressor, providing air at modest pressure (35 psi) but very high volume - this was typically used to drive slave "cold turbines" or to keep the main aircraft engines spinning on two minute standby.
