Sunn amps were made in the town I grew up in so I've seen my share of vintage Sunn gear throughout the years. They definitely made some great stuff! Fender actually bought the Sunn factory and used it to manufacture amps before they moved to Corona, CA in the 90's. My dad still has an old blues deluxe from that era made in our home town and it still sounds great. If you like Sunn, you should check out Conrad Amps. Conrad Sundholm started Sunn back in the day and he is still making amps to this day. A little out of my price range but his stuff is beautiful!

I have DIY dreams of building a Sunn Sceptre. I have at least a couple more amp builds to do first before taking that on.

Sunn O))) (of Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson) took their name from the amps (plus it is also a nod to Carlson's Earth).

They use SIX Model T amps on stage (all with full stacks), and six Ampeg SVTs, but Ampeg probably isn't as good a band name as Sunn O))).

Orange Tiny Terror, (was thinking about a Dark Terror but the TT would be more versatile), a Dano baritone, and the matchless Hotbox clone I hope to build soon with a mate :)

GAS slightly abated - Picked up a cheap TT head and it arrived today. Also bought a "broken" fulltone OCD on the cheap, with the intention of fixing it up - it arrived today and is working fine  8) the TT and OCD sound ggggggreat together :)

GASing after so much stuff at the moment. But these two are top of the list. A Gretsch Billy Bo Billy Gibbons signature model (the one I like has pin striping on it though) and a ESP horizon nt-ii in brown.

I don't think I can resist anymore. I want a proper made in the UK/US amp, and these two are looking perfect for me.

Both of these.  I think I need to sell some of my non-DIY pedals and get the money for the B9, hopefully I'll come up with the money next year for the DRRI

Those ESP Horizons are really nice guitars.  Shame that their pricing and branding has gotten all weird this year.  EII?

I know what you mean! Had a look at ESPs the other day, and they have changed all the model numbers and everything! It got me all confused!

Also been looking at the ESP LTD MH1000. Same guitar, just not hand made, and bolt on neck instead of a neck through, but at half the price! One day I'll have one of each. Maybe. If I win the lottery.

I live about 10 minutes from Swart. I've been tempted to drop in and ask if they need an intern. "Will work for spare parts."

I've always wanted a CNC. and this may be the one a friend of mine and I may go halfsies on. Inventables is doing a lot of cool things with this as far as mods and upgrades, and they web based software, Easel, that they are developing looks really promising.
