Description

A vintage 1959 Magnatone Custom 260 tube combo amp. Just serviced and ready to go, this amp is in very nice shape. Aside from the two new filter caps, line cord, and the handle the amp is all original. 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.
