Members rxbanditos Posted March 14, 2010 Members Share Posted March 14, 2010 HNGD, but meh I just could never look at a Kustom amp for more than 2 seconds, the design elements or lack of aesthetic styling makes me go BLAGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yz250f49 Posted March 14, 2010 Members Share Posted March 14, 2010 I watched that video. Those guitars sound great! Wonder what they would sound like if they plugged them into an amp....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members drawdeep Posted March 14, 2010 Members Share Posted March 14, 2010 That is BADASS! All my years of prowling vintage shows, and I have never run across one of those... looks like a rare bird there. So, how is the "whisper string and fret action" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Woody_in_MN Posted March 14, 2010 Members Share Posted March 14, 2010 I did not know they made guitars. But I love it. 3 paws, and a tail up from Lamb Chop. - w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members El Glom-o Posted March 14, 2010 Members Share Posted March 14, 2010 too cool!i wonder what Kustom would do about that lifetime warranty these days... Very, very cool guitar and amp combo. Black is my least favorite of the Kustom upholstery colors, but it's still cool, and certainly looks great paired with the matching guitar. Is the pilot light jewel that same purple color like on my brother's amp? How does the guitar play and how does the pair sound together? Really great recent scores on the amp and guitar. Unfortunately, the current Kustom company is not honoring the lifetime warranties of the Ross era. My brother still uses the Kustom 100 bass amp that he bought new in 1969. It had always intermittently picked up some French radio station, so I tried contacting Kustom a few years ago to see if they'd check it out and found that they weren't covering the old warranties. When the amp started making a thumping noise, I finally opened it (for the first time ever) and found some wires that were dressed too close to the terminals on the caps, and another wire that was a bit loose and rubbing on the chassis. Re-dressing those wires stopped the thumping noise and took the Frenchies off the air. That's the only trouble that amp has had in 40 years of use.

Members volvo1800 Posted March 14, 2010 Members Share Posted March 14, 2010 i played one a while back. they are super well made high end guitars. . .. just never really caught on. Comparable to mosrite . . . I think they has some sort of association. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoreGuitars Posted March 14, 2010 Members Share Posted March 14, 2010 Back in 1973 I used to play a Kustom amp with a Plush head. I remember it sounded pretty good, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
