Exceptional vintage tone in a well-maintained all-tube classic. This model is handwired by Marshall to the original JTM45 specs from 1962. Purchased from the original owner in 2013 and used sparingly in a smoke-free recording studio. There are a few scuffs and dings in the tolex and the back plate has some signs of aging (see photos). 1989 is the first year Marshall reissued the JTM45 (X starts the serial number) and some people prefer these over the later models. It sounds amazing, but it can also get super loud - just a head's up!IMPORTANT: This head only ships to the lower 48 states.Hit me up with questions and read the info from Marshall on JTM45 reissues (below) for the general low-down on this model.From the Marshall website:
The very first Marshall® amp, made back in 1962, was the JTM45. It was an instant hit and launched a whole new generation of groundbreaking guitar players and sounds. Since then, connoisseurs of tone have sought out rare original JTM45s from the ’60s. Now they shall seek no more, thanks to this meticulously accurate re-issue. It was GZ34 rectification that was the key to the JTM45’s sound, and this is a feature painstakingly reproduced in this re-issue. The way the rectifier interacts with the other valves causes subtle harmonics to shift and smoulder beneath every note, producing the unmistakable, original, and much emulated Marshall sound.
