1951 Bronson Melody King, in really nice shape for 74 years old. Bronson was a Detroit firm (hometown) specializing in lap steels and accordions. I have 3 of the blue and white Valco Bronsons, a Dickerson MOTS Bronson and this. 2 6L6, original Jensen speaker. Love that Tolex and

Seems like it.

Erik Gustafson 2nd demo of the 1951 Bronson Melody King. Link Wray time.

Just did a 6.5 hour round trip over by Cleveland OH to pick up this very clean 1965 Estey Magnatone M10A for $500. Fully functional. This is an upper and lower chamber cab, amp up top, built into the handle, speaker in the bottom, accessed from the removable bottom. Labeling on

The 1932 Rickenbacher Type 1 with the Frying Pan lapsteel was the first commercial amp. This is is my amp, purchased off of eBay when the seller separated his matched pair after 3 failed sales. Powered by a 56 preamp and 2 47s for power, they made an excellent amp with a sweet

1936 Rickenbacher Style 3. Left the note taped to it, it earned that after decades. (Not to mention the clean rectangle under it.) Still need a Style 2 for the 1-4 set.

Oboy! Imported gear!

1939 Rickenbacher Regular Type 4, AKA - The Lunchbox. Cab is all stamped steel with a perforated grill. 80 rectifier, 53 preamp, pair of 47s for power, original field coil speaker. Very clean tone, like all early Rickenbachers. Available for #Detroit #Studio #Rental from

1962 Premier 120R. One of my most favorite amps and is the favorite in my collection of Erik Gustafson, who does most of my videos. 2 6V6, 12", 2 channels, reverb and tremolo (channel selectable) that can be delightfully interactive. The reverb pan is on a removable lower rear

This is why Erik Gustafson loves my #Premier120R. Straight up or off to the land of Floyd here.

Erik Gustafson take 2 on the 1962 Premier 120R. Stellar!

1947 National 1260, another great amp from them. 2 6L6G, 12", instrument/mic channels. Instrument is very clean, mic is gnarly. Perfect A-B pedal amp. Ran across this in a Premier Guitar article. Knew I had seen this, went back and bought it. They weren't wrong! Available for
