NAD: Cornell Voyager 20 content

JerkMoans

Hey you crazy cats!

After an Homeric Guitar Safari on Sunday I returned home having bagged Big (and heavy) Game.  Courtesy of @gitarman4 , ladies and djentlemen, I give you the Cornell Voyager 20.

Rare as hen's teeth: estimates of numbers in the wild range between about 8 and about 20, this was hand built by Mike himself in the company of others at Cornell, and has since been kept in damn near showroom perfect nick. 

Sound-wise it's like a Deluxe that's eaten its spinach: more than a Blackface, almost nudging into what I imagine would be Lazy J territory when cranked.  I really believe I may finally be flirting with the answer to the riddle of Perfect Tone that haunts us all.  The build quality is unbelievably good.  Add in some triode/pentode wizardry to switch between 5 and 20 watts, tube bias trem and reverb and a Kendrick speaker (not a make I'm familiar with, but I like it.  A lot) and I think I've found my forever amp.

Some pictures of the guts of the thing if @gitarman4 doesn't mins me nicking his link at: https://photos.app.goo.gl/b8xKHvDRUBQIINda2

That my friend probably just saved you £750.....it would have only been a matter of time before you splashed for a Lazy J20 and it sounds like the Cornell is everything you'd hoped for.  Nice looking little sister too  (the guitar that is, I don't know your sister)

Now, that's a gorgeous bit of craftsmanship. Very nice.

Looks lovely. Congratulations... must be great to scratch the LazyJ itch and end up with this. So for your itching and scratching pleasure;

You’re very kind. I’m rather partial to it for now, until the next thing addles my faithless, fickle heart.

Thank you. Hope you’re ok re flipping the Flynn (sounds like quite the sexual practice)

Seriously great looking amp. Love my Romany Pro, they build lovely amps down there by the seaside.
