I used an AC30CCX with the blue alnicos for a while, but found it just too darn heavy to lug around, and 30 watts of class A output is very loud, too loud in fact for most indoor gigs in my opinion. It weighed over 70 pounds. I did love the Vox sound on the vintage channel, so I sold it and bought an AC15 hand wired Ltd edition in the finished wood cabinet. It sets in the practice bandroom and I use it for the electric signal chain. It is just too nice to lug around on stages. I wish we played more outdoor gigs where these big class A amps could be put to better use. And congrats on the UKII. There are only so many to go around. I love mine | ||

Joined: September 2013 Posts: 52 Location: Brisbane Australia | Damon, I am inclined to agree. I have built few guitars to my personal preferences - I was thinking it couldn't get better than that! I picked the UK11 up out of the case and immediately felt like I had been playing it for years. Wow! I haven't played it at stage volume yet, but I can't wait... yeah! the AC30... heavy! I wish it had wheels like my Mesa Boogie. They are both around the same weight but the AC30 is actually a little bigger. yeah! Heavy! | ||

Neal played his in arenas... https://youtu.be/b_1befIpgFM And this one always makes me homesick... https://youtu.be/a8QST42rf8c

Still a UKII but with a thin veneer of birch on the top, an Adamas core actually, and there's binding the body. Technically, all UKIIs are Beal creations I s'pose Edited by Damon67 2015-10-20 10:32 PM | ||

Joined: October 2015 Posts: 16 | Coming in late to this, but I have to say that Damon's blonde UKII is completely stunning. Maybe the nicest-looking Ovation electric guitar I've ever seen, and that is really saying something. Love the all-natural look, and the way it seems like a perfect hybrid of the classic Ovation acoustic and electric "looks". Nicely done. | ||
