Hello all,
Just wanted to say Hi and Happy Holidays. Just bought my first Kustom and have already received heaps of helpful hints and info from several of you on this list. I am in the Charlotte, NC area, so let me know if any of you are close by.
Jake, I would also like to say welcome and glad you found the site. I would'nt tell anyone which kustom you have and don't tell em it's red. They will hunt you down. LOL Have a great new years. Don
Alright, I'm gonna let the cat out of the bag. I got a red 410 combo two days ago and it's fantastic. I had never played through a Kustom before, and thought the, "tuck n roll" was just for show. Boy, was I WRONG! This amp is 10 times better sounding than any other amp I've owned, or played for that matter. What abot you?

Hi Jake and welcome! Many have been surprised about the quality of the Kustoms! Tubes are not everything! When we had our jam session in Nashville there fantastic sounds coming from all the amps.....we even had a Kustom organ sounding sweet! I have not seen a red 4x10......but I love all the kolors! Glad to have you! BC
Hey, thanks for all the feedback. You guys are not going to believe this, but this morning I got a PERFECT BLUE Kustom 150 head! I'm not kidding, I got it today (at the same Pawn shop that I got my Combo), by trading a BOSS Distortion pedal and an old Peavey Mike for it! Unbelievable! Any info on the 150 is much appreciated, This thing has a switch that provides a couple of presets and a Polarity button that lights up. Pretty cool.

150 head......75 watts RMS.....Selectone...nice amps for bass or guitar....with the right speakers. I had one and traded it to Chip Coleman in China Grove NC last spring as I am more into the 100-200 series amps. Pleat...Roy....and Hal have much more metal faced amp knowledge than I do. Maybe they will jump in! Congrats on the new toy! I have been at this a year and a half and I still get excited when I get a new piece! BC
