I just remember that the amazing Joe Maphis played one. At least that's what he's pictured with on the pictures I saw. Would love to hear more of that too. I believe they have been refounded and reissued lately but don't know if that's still the case, and wether they are any good. Maphis gets a wicked sound through it with his doubleneck Mosrite guitar/mandolin...

Jeez man. A new one or a reissue? That is super cool. I think you need to sell that to me right away!
There's a good Standel history by Deke Dickerson at http://www.standelamps.com/
I just bought a Bigsby Merle Travis reissue, I need that amp!

This is not new or a reissue, this one is from 1961, and one of less than a 100 made according to Danny McKinney over at Standel. I put an original JBL D130 in it and it is BOOMING!! Awsome classic sound. A real Merle/Maphis fan would go nuts with this.
