guys...every year I say it...but it really is true...for a long long time , kustom kollecting was a lonely process of haunting pawn shops and old music stores for the occasional prize...during the dark times..before the internet..before ebay...never really ran into many guys that could talk about the amps..it was all fender this and marshall that...and I was some solid state freak with no ears...anyway.. I digress as usual...but it has been a real crank to see all the kustom nuts out here...and I've seen a wealth of knowledge come around..somethings that would have been lost to time and the legacy. Our kustoms represent so much of that legacy...a product that adressed new technology of the day..that was made so well, and dressed in so much attitude...it made a huge statement in the music industry and for these reasons alone I think its very important that there are those out there that are keeping it healthy....so thanks you all for another fun year of talking kustoms hearing of treasures found across the fruity plains...ya'll have a heck of a great Christmas...n Play Loud! ET

Yes its great seeing others with the same obsessions. For a long time I wondered if any one out there appreciated them like I did.
Now my nephews are getting introduced to the wonderful world of Kustom.

Very Happy Yes i have recently join the fever.Back in the early 70's going to the high school dances on friday night every band had Kustom amps.I would drool over them.In art class the other kids would draw horses and people and i would draw stages full of kustom and acoustic amps.My teacher thought i was nuts.But she said i has a eye for detail.I dreamed of owning a big black kustom amp when i was young.Now i have 2.So merry xmas to all and all a new kustom.ROCKBOB

This year has not been as bold a collecting year as others have. But, they all can't be the same. STILL....I did get the Charcoal 3x15 from Shadow in Arkansas. The good new is that I am still playing and using Kustom amps EXCLUSIVELY. Many good people have come my way in this Kustom chase. I appreciate all of you and wish you all Merry Christmas and a New Year with more Kustom gear! BC Cool
