Now I'm interested...

You practically STOLE that thing, Mitch, what a beauty! What amp do you play it through?

If I had one, I'd play it through one of these:

Thanks! Right now I just have some cheap amps but I'd like to get a Marshall like that in the future.

Thanks! It was marked down because it is used(2011).It doesn't have a COA and the case isn't original but it plays great and sound awesome so that is all that is import to me.

Nice, a real beauty! You got a deal on the R9. I paid that for an R6 last year, which I like a lot, but I have it only because I bought it from Dean Wareham.

Nice Stage 65 too! That was my first guitar amp, my mom bought it for me in junior high I think. I had a choice between that and a vibro champ. I got the stage 65 because it was bigger.
