Serial: AB007746 The grill cloth on this one is pretty tattered and torn all over. The speakers are in good shape and this amp sounds killer! The tolex has a few small rips here and there as well but not nearly as bad as the grill cloth. Comes with the foot switch to control both the reverb ad tremolo, both of which still function
