Notes
It’s about damn time i introduced all of you Homeskoolers to my dear friend Brandon Hood…
This talented young fella came all the way from the Ocoee to become one of Nashville’s busiest producers.
I have personally witnessed the growth and steady rise of his career through the glass of hundreds of sessions we have done together over the years.
I am so proud of him…and this man is absolute living proof of one of my alltime favorite old sayings…”the harder you work, the luckier you get”

00:27 - '60 Gibson GA-83S (rare amp)

Notes
In the late 50’s and early 60’s Gibson REALLY THOUGHT that their stereo guitars and amps idea was going to revolutionize the world.
The Gretsch company also made a strong push towards stereo in the late 50’s.
They ran it hard for about 4 years before they realized that it was never gonna fly and nobody gave a fuck.
This was the flagship amp of the Gibson stereo amplifier line up …the rare and coveted GA-83S…less than 300 were built during its full run of production, which was 1959-61.
I searched for one of these rare beasts for over 20 years before I found one

do you guys know what "JTM" in JTM-45 stands for?
in the video, i talk about the cabs being 2x10"s, but they are actually 2x12" cabinets
in my defense, i have been so infatuated with this head that i have paid very little attention to these cabinets
