Same circuit I think although the newer ones have the Jupiter speaker... not sure about the older ones.

Old ones had Celestion G12H30, newer ones have Jupiter (more Fendery) speaker I believe.

hotpickups

Jupiter sounded great in the buster I tried

fretfinder

I think they've had that for sale for months, I guess the price is putting people off. They've had a Morgan RCA35R for sale for a while as well, looks nice and cheaper than the LE.

Yes I think I saw that at coda in December when I visited the shop to demo the buster

Me too, and Mark is correct

Lebarque

Please someone buy this to save me from it...

mgaw

no @Lebarque you will just have to man up and buy it

Well I'm considering it... I miss having a BF Fender already.

hotpickups

I must be the only one who doesn't appear to get on with the BF sound By that I mean I didn't really like the TK Imperial I once had. Just not me really

I think the Jupiter speaker is nearly 3lb lighter.... and I'm an old man - so every lb counts. I think I'll pass on the Coda one.

Here's my scientific equation:

Middy amp (Tweed/Marshall) + Middy guitar (ES335/Les Paul) = too rocky for me
No mids amp (Blackface) + No mids guitar (strat/tele) = too thin and surfy for me (Nb. I'm not SRV)

Middy amp (Tweed/Marshall) + No mids guitar (strat/tele) = Balanced, versatile rig 
No mids amp (Blackface) + Middy guitar (ES335/Les Paul) = Balanced, versatile rig

Anyone agree?

I think I'm trying to say that you should try a 335/Les Paul with a Blackface amp, @hotpickups. Which you probably have already. So I'll shut up...
