Steve Hawkins is a local 54' Telecaster picker who wanted an alternative to taking his vintage amps on tour. This amp was designed and build specifically for steve to emphasize his hot rod tele picking. Tele "quack" , "spank" and killer country tones are absolutely astounding through this amp. It breaths deeply and delivers clear, warm singing EL84 tone with every note played. The first day Steve plugged in to it I was floored at how well the design turned out. Steve had the faceplate engraved with his family members names so that they are always on the road with him no matter where he travels to perform.
