Here's a great retro-looking offering from Gretsch, see how much it sold for at the end of the post. Here's the blurb from the seller.
Victoria Gretsch Executive Amp Exquisite Tone, MINT+++
This listing is long, because I want to assure you of what you are buying.. This is a Pro Level amplifier, in extraordinary Condition, made in the USA, by the widely acclaimed Victoria Amplifiers... Check out Victoria's website for the caliber of players that endorse this product. Furthermore, Gretsch Musical Instruments has asked Victoria to be Gretsch's sole source for all tube amplifiers. So, these Amps are co-labled!
BTW, as I detail the Executive's construction and pedigree.. Rest assured, The EXECUTIVE is beautiful to hear and inspirational play through. I use an EJ Strat and an Artist Package PRS MCCarty, top quality gear. I have owned many great amps, Dr. Z, Walter Woods, Fargen, many Fenders and Marshals, Fuchs, Soldano, Mesa et al, and this is truely a superior amplifier, built to endure and enhance the quality of your music.
So you're asking, why are you selling it? Ans. Because I have ordered a custom 1x12 Executive from Victoria, which I will use for gigging. The amp has arrived and is in use. You are welcome to contact Mark and verify what i am saying..
The Executive is the type of amp you've always wanted but couldn't find a way to own. Here's your chance, at an affordable price. Make this yours; You'll be making an excellent decision!
The Executive's tone and response are excellent! This amp handles Blues, Rock, Country and Jazz. Simply, This amp is pro quality!
