One of the biggest names in country.  Absolutely cleaned up at the CMA awards a year or two ago.

Get on Spotify, give him a listen.
Started out writing songs for others, first album went big, then he did a duet with Justin Timberlake at an awards show which went mad on YouTube.
I like him a lot.

And don’t forget to check out the first two Steeldrivers albums which he’s on too.

Take my money now!

Traveller is a great album of his. Fantastic guitar sounds on it too, unsurprisingly.
That amp looks ace.

Nice amp, going to be expensive I reckon

A lot of talk and not a lot of walk in that vid but I’m still thinking ‘yes please’

That's a bit hot for a Princeton but I guess the going rate for hand wired with select components and a slice for the artist endorsee.

I would rather have my Mesa Mark V 35 with has many more features, volume, and 6 modes of tone across 2 channels with integrated footswitch boost for the same price...

...but it's not as sexy.

how rude not to remove his hat when addressing us...

£2k Princeton with just one tone control and no reverb? No thanks. 

Loads of other better options in that price range.

Can’t say that I’m keen on the £2k part but the one tone and no reverb are a big plus to me. The less they stop up the pluming, the better an amp sounds to my ears. Or perhaps that should say, the more I hear the guitar’s voice 

Or it night just be that I’m a simpleton.

Such as the Rift Hawker.

Bit of a tangent perhaps but do any builders currently offer a non reverb Princeton clone? It seems like there are plenty of available clones/variations of the reverb version but not much choice if you’re interested in the non reverb circuit.

Most builders will offer one as a custom build, I’m sure

Wow, I just watched a few Chris Stapleton videos on YouTube, great player! Now I have GAS.
