Looking for the Ultimate Sovtek Rig? This one has a very slight factory wrinkle or 2 in the front tolex. My amp tech of 40 years and I swear both of these heads have the original low mileage tubes. Unreal!

We also have a stunning, collector-grade 1994 Sovtek MIG-60 listed right now in the exact same pristine, minty condition! Check our other listings or message us directly if you are interested in an investment-grade, dual-head power rig.

Often called the "Russian Plexi" or "Soviet Bassman," the 1994 Sovtek MIG-50 is legendary for its massive low-end chunk, brilliant clean headroom, and a thick, rich overdrive that acts as the ultimate pedal platform. While many of these heads were heavily gigged, modified, or neglected over the decades, this particular unit is a time capsule piece.

• 100% Unmodified Internals: As you can see from our extensive chassis photos, the circuit board is exceptionally clean with all original factory components, pristine solder joints, and untouched wiring. No sketchy modifications or hacked repairs.

NOTE: Too cool. Late last summer we shipped a 1967 MapleGlo Rickenbacker 6-12 Converter 'comb' guitar to Billy Corigan of Smashing Pumpkins! We also then shipped a vintage 50 watt Marshall head to L.A. studio-touring guitarist extraodinaire, Michael Landau, and 2 vintage guitars to Jack White's organization down in Nashville just a few days before his 50th. birthday! mmm? Add 'The Kentucky Head Hunters' to the list, just sold Greg a cool little 50's Valco tube combo amp!

Gordy's Music has become a Detroit institution! Our shop was used as a filming location for a few films like "Miracle in Motor City" a Christmas movie on Lifetime (featuring Smoky Robinson). We've supplied gear for movies including "Bill & Ted Face The Music" with Keanu Reeves. We've got decades of celebrity customers, including recent visits from Beck, Eric Johnson, and we recently sold Billy Joel's bassist a cool Gibson SG he is in love with. One day a while back Andre 3000 and his group stopped in to browse as they were playing Masonic Temple that night and right after that we sold an old oil can Morley Wah Vibrato pedal to Credence Clearwater Revival's thee John Fogerty!

We are having and have had a lot of fun here at Gordy's Music! I was just remembering about 35 years ago a tour bus pulled up to our little shop, and who rolls right in and hangs out for an hour? Lenny Kravitz and his entire group, right about the same time I was selling many guitars to and chauffeuring around Dee Dee Ramone who had an apartment a block down from my house.
