I guess it could use some cloth covered wire. Some heavier components. But there you are. And at a boutique price too. :?

Now, how does it sound? The demos I've heard are pretty good, but subject to youtube reduction in quality. I guess the only way most of us can afford that quality is in kit form. Then at least we can tweak the tone to our liking without voiding the warranty.

I had one of those Vibro-Kings a few years back.

It's a really nice amp. The reverb is just beautiful, with an amazing sparkle.

But the VK is also quite heavy. 72 pounds was just no fun coming down the stairs, even with a hand truck.

If Fender Custom did a Vibrolux Reverb in the 40 to 50 pound range, that would be very cool.
