Description: Western finish, Campfire belt buckle, Wrap around grille, Tooled leather trim, Tremolo, original Rola speakers and dual 6V6 Power Tubes. Basically an original roundup with updated cosmetics. This one I had refinished to look like it just rolled off the assembly line in 1956!It would make the ideal accompaniment for a Roundup guitar. It has that country tone that few amps nail. These amps are extremely rare and rarely hit the market, but to find one that you can appreciate playing and drooling over?!?!
