Notes
Uncle Larry breathes some new life into an exhausted old 69 custom.

I have had lots of inquiries about the "pile of plexi"...i'm going to start off by trying to sell the entire collection at once...35K for all 7 pieces. if you study the market on plexi's with original transformers you will clearly see that is a very fair price. I know that people who are card carrying members of the old marshall cult like to buy things in collections so i am starting there. local pickup only of course...no shipping. i would also consider a trade for a dead original slab board 59 or 60 two tone tele custom...and of course any no excuses pre 1965 es-335
