Ampeg “A Real Sound Buy!” Catalog – Early 1960s (c. 1960–1962)

13 pages.

A sharp and visually striking early-’60s Ampeg catalog capturing the company’s transition into a full-line amplifier powerhouse, featuring the Bassamp, Guitaramp, Accordiamp, and Universal series alongside classic models like the Portaflex, Mercury, Jet, and Manhattan. The bold red, black, and gold mid-century layout is paired with detailed spec sheets, period pricing, and Everett Hull’s philosophy on “the real purpose of an amplifier,” making this as much a historical document as a sales piece. Also includes accessory pages with pickups and hardware, rounding out a complete snapshot of Ampeg’s lineup during its formative years. In very good vintage condition with visible edge wear and some binder hole tearing, but still highly presentable and increasingly scarce—an essential piece for Ampeg collectors and vintage amp historians alike.

The front cover is a bit rough, but the rest of the catalog is in pretty fair condition. Please take a look at the photos to determine condition, let us know if you have any questions and as always, we thank you for stopping by!
