    i posted them as image codes but it cut them all in half and i could only have three, i tried to edit them but it will not let me edit

    i thought i would put up a few pics of my new amp and my ehx gear, its a limited edition mark 5 in precious grade private reserve french flamed walnut with mother of pearl and paua abalone inlay

    the run was of 20 sapale mahogany and 55 of the french flamed walnut, its hand signed by randal smith

    YOU BASTARD!!! that is my dream amp as well, …but ill never afford it. 😥 id evan settle for a tolex one.

    any way i guess im happy with my Studiomaster Valve Leadmaster.

    its basicly a rare clone of a Mesa Boogie Mark 2 c+ from 1981, made in England.

    i also have a Mesa Boogie dual rectifier half stack and a Peavey 5150 half stack from when i used to play out, they dont see any light these days, just my Studiomaster.

    Sweet! I just toured the factory a few weeks ago. It was really cool to see how and where they go together.

    yes it is, it is mesa’s 40th anniversary so they did a special run of 75, the first are sapele mahogany and the other 55 they made of french flamed walnut, all the woods used were “precious grade” private reserve woods that are extremely rare. you could only get this wood for this run. you just cant order it from the custom shop even if you have the cash

    paua abalone and mother of pearl inlay, there is another similar inlay inside it, hand signed by Randal Smith they are sequantialy numbered so it goes 1 of 75, 2 of 75 exc

    I was looking at buying a private reserve cab and the guy asked me if i had heard about the limited editions and i said yes but assumed it was thousands more

    it ended up being 350 Canadian more………SOLD!!!!!!!!!

    they kept the 20 sapele mahogany and 20 of the flamed walnut for the usa, the store actually had two and let me take my pick!! here are only 35 in world outside of the usa an di got to pick from two.

    i had bought it at the end of october but i had to wait two monthes before it was build and another half a month for them to get it up from california,the store had two on order and i was the first to pick mine up, i drove 800 km to this store. only certain stores could order them
