Here is a handwired combo, made in England which features G12H30 aged Celestion speakers, 18 watts of class A/B power and has been modded with power and output transformers from Mercury Magnetics. This amp is a reproduction of the classic mid 60’s combos and has a two channel design very much like a Plexi. Comes with footswitch and manual.

MORE →Burns was founded in 1960, and was sold to Baldwin in 1965 (who also purchased Gretsch in 1967). Though this should have improved the Burns presence in Baldwin’s largest market, it didn’t, and production stopped in 1970. Consequently, these instruments are not commonly found in North America. Through later attempts to recreate the designs, it has retained a niche appeal.This example has been well used, but works very well and has minimal fret wear. It has the semi-scroll headstock, distinguishing it from later models with the Fender-type 4-a-side gear arrangement. The action is very comfortable, making it an interesting and useful addition to any collection.

These 30 watt 2×12 amps feature Selmer labeled Goodman speakers, four inputs, built in Tremolo and selector tone push button controls. The “Blinking Eye” gives you a visual indication of the tremolo speed. Now that’s what I’m talking about! The two independent channels on this amp allow you to use one side for a microphone and the other for guitar. Both amps are in good shape with a bit of cosmetic wear and tear. Pretty cool!
