50`s kustoms? [message #8435] Thu, 15 March 2007 06:45   stevem Messages: 4733 Registered: June 2004 Location: NY Senior Member Hi gang!In going thru a 2004 copy of the vintage guitar price guide, the Kustom amp section makes mention that ROSS was producing amps as early as the late 50`s! Is there any proof any one has heard of to support this? Report message to a moderator

Bud was pretty disgusted with them. gotta remember..he was all of about 23-24 in the early 60s when the whole thing broke loose. Report message to a moderator
