An all original ‘ 68 drip edge Deluxe Reverb. Probably would have never got another chance to own one of these classics, I had to trade my faded ES 335 which I never really bonded with anyway, never sounded like a hollow body to me anyway sounded very much a solid body guitar, it sounded great but there wasn’t much love for playing it for whatever reason.
This amp is super clean, I think even original tubes, only thing non-original is athe old Celestion speaker. Here it is with a very recent new re-issue and I acquired not too long ago, it took me a lot of time to save and finally pulled the trigger, I got a pretty good deal on it also. The 68 is an all black face circuit the only thing different is the silver Face looks. And no they do not sound the same, The re-issue by all means is a awesome amp, but the classic old 68 is a really awesome amp. Did I ever think I would own two of these? No never
I have only played it for an hour maybe two, it had the original lamp cord power cord with no ground. I already got shocked touching 2amps next to each other. it went to the shop last week, I should get it back in a few days I hope.
I might add that in the re-issue I change the speaker to a Hellatone 30, Man what a huge upgrade from the original speaker
