Tickets are $1 apiece or $5 for 6. They are available at the museum and Chesbro Music on Broadway. Being a guitar gear geek of the first order, I want to check out this amp and also ask whether the Stratocaster can be exchanged for that Thinline Telecaster reproduction I was drooling over the other day. Not that I have anything against Strats, I just like Teles better.
