I was very fortunate to have spent hours on the phone with Kenny Fischer. I’m not saying we were best friends. I am saying we spoke regularly and sent each other CDs…stuff like that. Great man who shared his knowledge with anyone who was decent to him. Ken often spoke of a few builders whose work he liked. Bill Callaham was one such name mentioned.
Here we have one of the rarest amps on the planet. Bill Callaham hand crafted this “Liverpool” back before the boutique craze invaded us with everybody who could get to Radio Shack for a soldering iron. Bill’s amps are regarded as classic takes of Holy Grails.
Typically, these amps end up in Japan. You can see certain dealers charging upper $6ks for these heads. You can also see they don’t last long.
Tonally, this amp gets to the heart of what a “Wreck” does. Turn volume of your guitar down and it cleans right up. Phenomenal cleans that sound like THAT is what the amp was SUPPOSED to do….turn up the guitar and OVERTONES…SUSTAIN….GRIND….CRUNCH. BUT you retain note definition…mmmm…I love it.
Amp is from a nonsmoking environment. It is ready to go and does not appear to have any mods or damage.
