My Marshall Astoria
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

I can recommend the deluxe reverb reissues tho probly not considered boutique or sexy
I really wanted the blackface 65 cos i like the look but when I tried them out the 68 silverface sounded so much better to my ears.

Maybe boutique was the wrong word.
Was that the 68 custom ?

I’ve played a few Carrs. They’re amazing amps. Mercury and hammerhead were the favourites from the small selection I’ve tried.
