ARRG! I've been waiting 3 months for mine to show up :( … The said end of May but no word yet. I called the Store and they said it wasn't even in their warehouse yet! I want it already. I have riffs that need creating! It helps to know that the guitar is as sick as expected.
I have a jcm800 2204 from 1983, thing rips! It depends on the tone you're seeking though. For classic rock style riffs I'd suggest something like a AlnicoIIpro. For more metal sounding styles go with a good old Super D. Your cabinet/speakers make a huge difference with this amp. And I ALWAYS use...

Beautiful guitar at a steal! I'm 27. I used to frequently destroy people playing online Rainbow 6 Standard using 56k.. My game was changed forever when cable/dsl/t1 was introduced.
