Another New Arrival

We have another new arrival at The Sell It Now Store. This is a 1976 Fender Twin Reverb tube guitar amp. This powerhouse of an amplifier has 135 watts of power.

The Fender Twin Reverb is often referred to as “the hardest working amp in show business.” This is a title that this amp certainly deserves, as it was at one time the choice of just about every great guitarist known as well as being the amp of choice for just about every type of music played, such as country, jazz, blues, and rock. This is the amp that is featured on countless gold records and platinum albums. Although many of the big groups of the later 1960’s and early 1970’s would be seen playing through stacks of Marshall Amps during their live performances, many of these groups used the Fender Twin Reverb to record their hits in the studio, as the Fender Twin Reverb was the undisputed accepted standard amp that was to be found in just about every recording studio of the day.

We estimate this amp will sell for $500-700. Check back in several weeks to see what the amp brings on eBay.
