(new).
That's when you search ebay for stuff. $1300 off.
Answer:
Are you sure the eBay one is 1959 and not a re-issue or something? The bar-code on the back in the pictures would seem to me to indicate that the head was made a while after 1959...?

Answer:
plus with the shipping and insurance i wouldve paid close to 800 anyway. either way, im stoked about it. i have an audition coming up so hopefully ill be able to get the sound i want out of it before then.

Nate generally (as ehyd already noted) I don't believe any 1959 SLP amps were actually made in 1959...at least not the "famous" ones (which were late 60s/early 70s).
that being said, I've never seen any from that era for sale.
Answer:
aw man, that is tight! I have seen those, but never played one. Is it high gain
Answer:
well lets put it this way with the volume at 1 it is about as loud as my jcm800 at 6. if i just plug straight in and play there is way too much head room. but if i bridge the 1 and 2 channels together. the gain is so sweet. it is very full and crunchy. im lovin it.
