Fortieth Anniversary Custom Shop "Michelle"

Post by snickerpuss » Fri Dec 09, 2016 4:17 am

I never see these come up and, of course, they're pretty special. One of you collectors should snatch it up and tell the rest of us how it sounds. ...and invite us to your place. ...and give us this amp for Christmas. :mrgreen:

Wow. One of those was for sale locally for 1/4 the price. Didn't know they were "sought after". INTERESTING!

Cool looking (and most probably sounding) amp.
I know, it is a collector piece but almost 3.000 euros for a guitar amp ..? :( :(

You could get a Vintage OR120 for half as much . . .

Overpriced, but all it takes is a buyer.

I think 3K is too much for an amp too, but I don't think this CS 40th anniversary amp is overpriced since only 40 were made and a normal custom shop production head can cost above 2K.

I have been wanting a Hiwatt DR103 Custom 100 and an Orange Matamp OR100 and 200 for years now, and I have never seen those within my price range either.

Check out this Ormat for over 6K! https://reverb.com/item/3205914-orange- ... 0-s-orange" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

and this one for over 7K!! https://reverb.com/item/3540481-orange- ... 969-orange" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

At least they are popping up for sale so you can see pictures of some. I would pay 3K for an Ormat, though admittedly.

I am lucky to own an OR120. I wonder how far off it really sounds compared to an Ormat OR100 anyway?
