1966 Marshall 2x12 Pinstripe #1983 PA Column Cabinet Cab G12H T1281

You are looking at a wonderful and hyper rare pair of 1966 JTM45 era Marshall 2x12 model #1983 columns with original September 1966 Celestion "Marshall Whitelabel" T1281 G12H speakers!!

The pinstripe cloth really stands out and is in original condition with a tear on the bottom left corner on one of the columns. The Marshall logo on the right column is incomplete but original. Three speakers have the original 18/014 cone stamp (mid '66) and a 26JL + 23JL date stamp on the front gasket, dating these to 23 and 26 september 1966. The 4th speaker seems to have an old recone.

These would make one heck of a set together with your JTM45 head!

The T1281 speaker first appears around October 1966, and was an exclusive model to Marshall. They were mainly used in the 100 logo 4×12 cabs (model 1982) and it is regarded by many as “the Hendrix speaker” because Jimi Hendrix can clearly be seen using these cabs in old footage (and countless other pioneering guitarists back in the 60’s such as Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Ritchie Blackmore)

The T1281 is probably the most sought after greenback model of them all and these speakers are loud and bassy with thick and fatsounding lower mids. 

Very rare speakers to find in usable condition these days, to say the least...
