On February 11, 2018 the music industry lost one of its own when James M. Heidrich, founder of Bad Cat Amplifiers and owner of the Blackwing Amplifier Company, passed away unexpectedly due to heart failure from a pulmonary embolism. He was 64 years old.
James was an avid guitar collector and along with his wife Debbie had great relationships with several guitar and amplifier builders as well as hundreds of Artists!
The Instruments and amplifiers being sold here are all from James' personal collection as well as the remaining NEW stock from the BlackWing Amplifier Company. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of these items will go directly to James' family!
