    I worked with a guitarist who played an Esquire and a brown face Concert Amp. He painted this beautiful screaming amp black. He had a great sound with that old Esquire rear pick up and the non-reverb 4×10″ Concert. This was in 1972 so I didn’t know anything about the value of his guitar & amp. Pure Fender! tHOSE WERE THE DAYS. Skip “Alex” Spence, our lead player played through an amp custom built for him. The tech for Moby Grape put together (4) Twin Reverb amps into one monster amp. This pushed (4) 4×12″ custom built  speaker bottoms.
