"Used" Marshall Limited Edition Super 100JH Handwired Jimi Hendrix Stack - Limited Run of 500 units

$5000 + shipping


The Marshall Super 100JH Jimi Hendrix stack consists of the Super 100JH head, the angled 1982AJH 4 x 12" cabinet, and the extra-tall, straight-front 1982JH 4 x 12" cab. The original version of this iconic tall, pinstriped stack was built in 1966. The Super 100 head was the immediate successor to Marshall's first ever 100W head—the famous dual output transformer JTM45/100.

In contrast to the diverse array of rich tones it generates, the Super 100JH is an extremely straightforward amplifier. Its two channels—High Treble and Normal—each have dual inputs (high and low sensitivity) and separate loudness (volume) controls. Both channels share the amplifier's four tone controls: treble, middle, bass and presence. There are three ECC83 (12AX7) valves in the preamp and a quartet of KT66 valves in the power amp, the standard issue in mid-'60s Marshall Amplifiers. The all-important power transformers are built by Drake, the original manufacturer.

The Super 100JH stack's two 4 x 12" speaker cabinets—the angled 1982AJH and straight 1982BJH—have been reissued to complete the majestic look of the original pinstriped stacks that Jimi used. The 1982BJH is nearly 7" taller than a standard Marshall 4 x 12", adding further to the impressive look of the stack. Both JH cabs are loaded with Celestion G12C 25W speakers—specially developed by Marshall and Celestion to duplicate the sound of the original speakers found in cabinets from that era.

A limited run of Super 100JH Jimi Hendrix stacks is available. Each head is individually numbered and comes with an exclusive certificate, personally signed by Dr. Jim Marshall, OBE. The certificate and handbook will come housed in a unique presentation folder.

2008 Gibson BFG Black Les Paul

$925 + shipping


A stripped-down, rock 'n' roll flamethrower, the Les Paul BFG is the most powerful Les Paul Gibson has ever made. Blasted back to the bare essentials, the BFG is the Les Paul for guitarists who want it loud, raw, and wild. Two volumes and one tone knob control the sonic spectrum put out by a high-powered Burstbucker 3 humbucker in the bridge and a screaming, single-coil P-90 in the neck. The traditional toggle has been rewired as a kill switch, and a mini-toggle at the volume knobs controls pickup selection. An innovative powerhouse, the BFG has no binding, no figured top, no finishing touches. This gives the BFG a distinctive look that is both modern and vintage, while allowing for a price that makes pure Les Paul performance available to all players. The result is a perfect storm of eye-catching style, incredible tone, and unbeatable playability -- all at a great price. Destined to be a classic.

Lightweight guitar, very nice condition, with hard shell case.

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Stratocaster guitar, the Custom Shop is building the Limited Edition 1954 Strat®. These faithful replications will be made with the same exacting detail as the original instruments, using many of the same machines and manufacturing methods used 50 years ago. Every deep body contour, pickup magnet and screw is a replica of a 1954 Strat. We even went as far as having pre-CBS Fender® employee, Roger Centeno, stamp each tremolo cover plate with the original die. And, yes they do come complete with the round holes! Each guitar will be built by a Custom Shop Master Builder and will feature a nitro-cellulose lacquered, two-piece ash body with offset glue seam and one-piece "U"-shape maple neck. Also, this limited release includes three new Custom Shop Vintage 1954 Stratocaster pickups, an original synchronized tremolo with "Ash Tray" bridge cover, bone nut, special documentation and an original form-fit Brown case. This Closet Classic finished, 2-Color Sunburst limited release will be available until 31 December 2004. You've waited 50 years for this day and we've taken every measure to make it worthwhile.

To this end the amplifier circuit is hand-wired on a hand-built tagboard and the chassis is constructed from aluminum, and features KT66 tubes set , 4x12 semi open cab features 12" Celestion Alnico speakers. Leather binding is clean. As a direct result of their diligence and attention to detail, this stunning reissue looks and sounds exactly like the much sought after original.

Authentic handwired tag board circuitry and KT66 power tubes are housed in an aluminum chassis, true to the original, which was built in 1962. Every effort has been made to preserve the pristine sound and aesthetics of these amplifiers, right down to the 12" Celestion Alnico speakers and the extremely rare rectangular metal, red block lettered Marshall "coffin" shaped logo. The JTM45 also features the same black vinyl covering, white/gray grille cloth and white front panel as the original.
