This video was filmed at the Lipe Guitars booth at the Winter NAMM 2009 show and features Coco Montoya playing a guitar hand-built for Coco by master luthier Mike Lipe of Lipe Guitars USA. The guitar is unique in that it is a left-handed body with a right-handed neck and strung right-handed. Coco is left-handed but plays guitar "upside-down" right-handed (like Dick Dale). www.lipeguitars.com The amp is a "Baby Will" 18 watt lite2b Valve Junior Conversion especially made for the NAMM show by Simon Higgs (particle). Details of the VJ conversion can be found at Wattkins Amp Forums www.ppwatt.com (Push-pull tube amps) http (Single-ended tube amps) Note: The background noise at the show was fairly loud, so the audio is not perfect. We couldn't turn the amp up full because, even at half-volume, we kept getting busted by the Sound Control guys with the db meters. :-)
