Is that Dave Wronski's Jag?

Also, is that a Fender tape unit next tot he reverb tank?
Yes, that's one of Dave's.

No, the tape echo is an Echoplex.

I thought as much. Blue sparkle and the angled switch plate made me think it had to be.

i just realised I wasn't being specific enough and was actually referring to two different photos. you're right, that's an EP2/3 in the photo of Dave's gear. I was referring to the Fender-branded unit to the left of the reverb tank in this photo

The diagonal switch on the pickup selector plate is the samw as Dave Wronski's .
It could be his into the blue sparkle jag.

It’s a Fender Electronic Echo Effect, an early ‘60s tape echo.

The Jag looks like another Wronski. I actually like the gold more than the blue.

Oh and how did the interview go? Good luck man!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Job didn’t work out, probably a bullet dodged on my part. See “kinda weird” in my previous post. But my flight is reimbursed and I got to see this exhibit however briefly.

Sorry/not sorry about the job- better hunting in future.

The pictures are amazing though- I've lost myself in your photo series a couple times now. Thanks for the educational and recreational escape!

What a great display!
