Steve Turner's Amplifiers
In this video, https://youtu.be/RukBfNrXT2E, Steve Turner discusses using the Fender Hot Rod Deville as his main touring amp. The linked article in Premier Guitar also lists this as one of his main amplifiers.
Mentioned in this February 1992 Guitar Player interview, as archived on this Open Computing Facility fan page.
While old Fender Mustangs are his main paramour ("I'm used to them - that was the first guitar I had"), Steve cultivates a modest collection of rarer birds, naturally coveting mod '60s models. "I like Harmony guitars a lot," he says, "the Harmony Rocket, the Harmony Stratotone. Real low-level guitars. Mark and I seem to have a lot of Hagstroms between us. Also, I'd love to have a Mosrite Ventures-type solidbody and a Gretsch DuoJet solidbody." When grilled about his "dream guitar," Turner unearths a real prize: "I really like the Gretsch Astro-Jet, is pretty cool looking - like an SG pulled and stretched." Steve's amp aesthetic is way groovy too. "I've got a pretty old Fender Super Reverb. It doesn't even have a master volume or anything. And I've got smaller things like an Ampeg Portaflex. You can flip the top up and carry it like a suitcase." Turner is particularly proud of his most recent amp dig-up, called the Excelsior. "I bought it at a store that mainly sells accordions. Some accordion player had it in his basement for 20 years. I have no idea where it was made, but the store that sold it to me sold it to this guy 20 years ago!"
