I've got an old Fender Super Six Reverb that I think needs a new set of tubes - preamp and power tubes.
What should I go with? (Think of it as a twin reverb. Similar or exact circuit if i'm not wrong). I just want to go with something that would reproduce its original sound. What do fenders come with originally?

What's your thoughts on Korean guitars?
I have 2 guitars. 1 Japanese made prestige, 1 Korean. After spending another 300 on mods for the Korean, it sounds just as good as the Prestige. It has a slightly different feel to it, mainly due to a different neck and slightly smaller frets, but still is a real player. But the thing is, it still has that stigma of being a Korean guitar, while my other is considered a quot;truequot; Ibanez, because it's Japanese made. I honestly don't know what to think about imports. One day I think, who cares, it sounds and plays as good as my prestige. Another day I think it will always be the step child so to speak of the prestige. I've played Mexican Strats ( Robert Cray, Jimmie Vaughan) that rival any American made Strat, yet some people still consider them to be a quot;secondquot; to an American made one. What does everybody think. Is a fully modded Korean guitar worth it, or would most of you prefer just to have the higher end? I'm thinking about buying another Ibanez, but the one I want (SZ320) is Korean, and I'm having my doubts whether I should just look around for something else.

question about strats
Hi guys,
I am actually looking for a full body guitar to play anything from blues to jazz. I have tried lately American Delux strats with noiseless pick-ups, one version with 3 single coils and the other with humbucker at the bridge. I found the HSS better because it seemed to have a fatter sound, but still not what I am looking for. As I was reading and hearing the pick-up descriptions, I came across a description of a set up with the SL59-1 little 59 at the neck, the SJBJ-1b at the bridge and the SDBR-1n in the middle. I pretty liked the tones I heard here and a question came up to me: would it not be better in my case to get a basic American strat and let these pick-ups be built in? Would I then really need the S-1 switching system. Thanks for your help,
