This is one of the rarest and difficult to obtain amps. Serial #13 Custom 50 watt head made by John Landgraff. It comes with all the original documentation. This is one of the most touch sensitive amps available. It can go from pristine clean to overdrive with changes in pick attack and guitar volume. It will do classic EL34 OD at lower volumes. As you can see, this amp comes with an exotic figured wood box, a major upcharge compared to the standard tolexed box. The amp has all the available options including pentode/triode switching, SS/tube rectification, preamp tube triode switching, etc. This amp will work amazing as part of a live rig or, as a studio amp because of its amazing versatility. It has 2 power tubes, 4 12ax7's, and a tube rectifier. You have numerous tube choices which are outlined in the paperwork. If you can get Landgraff to build you one of these amps, it would take well over 2 years and cost $5k. Here is your chance to get a mint, undistinguishable from new, head without the wait.

His stuff is expensive just because he knows it will sell. It could be a stock kit for all we know and people would still pay $5K just because it's got his name on it. His 5E3s that got so much attention a few years ago were just stock kits - not even modded or tweaked, just hyped to death - I wouldn't be surprised if this amp is the same situation.
