Description
A vintage 1961 Magnatone Custom 260 35W 2x12 tube combo amp. Just serviced and ready to go, this amp is in nice shape, but it's dinged up enough that you be afraid to take it to a gig. Aside from the re-cap, line cord, and the handle the amp is all original. It even includes the super-rare original footswitch. The 260/260A is one of the figureheads of the much-sought-after Estey-era of Magnatone amps, featuring the true pitch shifting vibrato that made Magnatone famous. These amps are known for their great clean tone and raw overdrive when pushed hard--perfect for stage or studio work. This amp has been cleaned and serviced. It is fully functional and sounds fantastic.
