NG Guitars is proud to bring you a ultra rare piece of history. As we all know, Eddie Van Halen has been a guitar god from day one and his legacy will carry him down in history. Jim Marshall is a name already known as a legend. On Novemer 13, 1985, Eddie Van Halen and Jim Marshall (and others including Les Paul) were inducted to the Hollywood Rock of Fame. This has been documented in the A History of Marshall Book. On this day after the ceremony Jim Marshall gave Eddie this amp.
Skipping to 1998, While brokering instruments, A friend told me that Maria Arredondo (daughter of famed amp guru Jose Arredondo R.I.P.) was going to clean out her fathers stuff at the house due to his passing. Low and behold this was one of the pieces that was found. During the years up to his passing, Jim Marshall R.I.P and I met and talked about this amp. Showing him pics and him remembering the amp occasionally at the NAMM shows. During this time, I contacted a few of the people at Guitar Center who were there at the 1985 event and they remember this amp.
Ive fired it up twice since I've had it. Both times it was LOUD. Its been sitting on a shelf in my studio since then. It is in pristine condition considering its 35 yeas old. 2 Pics of rear screen show 1 screw on top left and 1 screw on bottom left to hold it in place. This was done by Jose Arredondo. Don't know what else to say about it but it is what it is. I have no C.O.A. on it. I've tried to contact Eddie before his passing but we never got it contact. Feel free to ask any questions.
