This 1978 Hiwatt Custom 50 is extensively used by Scorpions guitarist Matthias Jabs and Europe guitarist John Norum in studios and during live performances (confirmation email available from Matthias Jabs).
This amplifier was Matthias Jabs’ main amplifier used by him worldwide for studio recordings and live performances. He personally bought the amplifier in 90s in Vancouver (Canada).
Matthias Jabs used this Hiwatt Custom 50 in the Little Mountain Sound studios (Vancouver) for the recording of the well-known Scorpions album Face The Heat (1993).

In addition, two inputs for an effects loop have been added - preamp in/out. Currently European 230V voltage, has a volt switch for US. All original except for a few minor modifications.
It was the favorite amplifier for Scorpions guitarist Matthias Jabs in the studio and on stage.
