Martin 112T Amplifier 1960

This Martin 112T extremely rare vintage guitar amplifier was made in the USA in 1960. These amps were manufactured by DeArmond/Rowe Industries for Martin in the early 1960s and are extremely rare with an exceptionally great sound. I used the amp amplifying a Martin D-18E from 1959.  It is often compared with a classic Fender 5E3 Tweed Delux. The amp appears to be all original except for replaced tubes and handle. It is in very good working condition and normal wear.

History:

The Martin 112T is an extremely rare vintage tube guitar amplifier, manufactured by DeArmond/Rowe Industries for Martin in the early 1960s. These amps are considered by many people to be one of the best sounding amps ever built. Very similar to the classic Fender Deluxe amps that are highly sought after, these have the added benefit of larger transformers giving the amp a bit more headroom or punch. It's high-quality construction and a tone often described as a "beefed-up" Fender 5E3 Tweed Deluxe
