I absolutely love the top-shot, what a nicely decorated amp.
I have a Sherwood 8000 that I believe is the same amp with the addition of a tuner (it uses the same tubes). Unfortunately, five years was all I got out of the amp, and it is snapping, popping, sometimes shutting off completely, so it is out of service, which is a problem because my Yamaha Natural amp, which cost many $$$, sounds like a tin can connected to a string in comparison.
