Trying To Get Some Info On This Jtm45

[lovehifi]

Guy wants to trade me this Marshall JTM45 PTP handwired with white back and 1960TV cab for a guitar I have. He doesnt know the year it was built. All I have are these pics. Any help would be great. He does say it is not one of the newer RI and uses Kt66 tubes. He also said it has a Bulgin power supply. Thanks and if there are any questions I should ask him please let me know.

someone will chime in, but thats a reissue amp(no mustard caps,no carbon comp resistors ect.)
Possible kit built.

He says its not but he may not know. I am thinking it may be a replica.

 

[slagg]

It's not the real deal IMO

Replica.

 

[lovehifi]

Thanks guys. If a replica I would imagine and I may be wrong that it would not be worth the same nor sound the same. The value of the guitar I have is 2700.00 so I think I will pass. Appreciate everyones help.

Correct.The "Old Ones got Mojo"

I'd do the trade if:

a) the rig sounds good; and
b) the swap "price" is for both head and cab.

You wouldn't pick those two up for $2700 IMHO.

This is the band the guy got it from and I think its the exact amp being used in this video. At about 4:36 something starts sounding good.

Yes ~ Replica.

IMHO ~ I would not trade a $2700 guitar for that head and cab and offer much less.

 

[London John]

.....offer much less.

That would be a steal.

 

[lovehifi]

It is for the amp and cab.

 

[slagg]

Too steep.You can get same thing at a much lower price.Cab is prob a replica too.

That's a kit build...I think that's a Marstran Power Transformer
