Clear pictures of the front and back, including the serial number.

Also, gut shots. There are a handful of guys here with a lot of experience that could immediately tell if it is authentic.

Lastly, if it is part of an estate of late Nigerian prince, then it is not real.....

On first observation I'd say it's real, or a SUPER good fake

I swear that one was on ebay not long ago, few months back maybe. Those are the same pics. Guy had a Buy it now price a little less than 30K I think. Bidding maybe hit 22K. Not that it means anything, just saying.

That looks like one out of that batch of 5 resophonic1 put up the pics of a while back. If so, here's a pic of another one.

That amp (and picture) has been on Ebay several times over the past two years. I think Gil Ayan might know the amp.

Not sure I do... or you mean it''s Scott W's? Either way, the amp looks legit based upon the pictures. Who is the seller? If I know him, I may be able to chime in about the amp.

Not that there was any doubt, but Funk is correct.

I would have swore they actually had two Dumbles in the place, back about 3 or 4 years ago. Not sure what models. Wasn't ready to throw that type of cash around, and was fresh to this site, at best when I was last in there. Great place to window shop. I think they may have just started carrying Andy's amps around that time.

The salesman basically confirmed some of the HAD legend discussed elsewhere on this site, after I made the mistake of calling him Howard.

It was Steve Schmidt when he had Classic Ax I think was the name. He advertised them through Vintage Guitar Mag. He was selling the heads for $11,000 new and I think the combo was $12,000. He's somehow affiliated with Chicago Music Exchange now so you may be able to contact through them. This is one of the batch of 5 that went through him then. The pic I put up is another from that batch. I've personally seen three of them and they all sounded similar but had a few small parts variances. The were HRM Skyliners with EL34's I believe. Make-n-Music has had a few over the years but I don't they they ever had one from this bunch.
