Update 3/11/26 Everything sold except for the Jackson.

1994 Jackson PCS Flamed Dinky - $2500 - Price lowered a lot. Just like in the catalog for the 1994 year, basically one step below custom shop, they made these things with a full solid piece of flamed maple for the body and a bound 24-fret neck with massive frets. Original L500 pickup replaced by a Suhr DSH+ but otherwise it's all stock. Currently set up with heavy strings in Drop A# and it rips. Body has lots of light scratches but no major dings in the wood. Neck had a repair, the headstock was chipped at the tip and that damaged the binding, so I had a professional repair and repaint, though they didn't let the clear coat cure completely and there is a little texture to it - could use a little sanding to smooth it out. The luthier resprayed the neck to blend the repair, it's a light gloss feel which is very nice. Priced accordingly for the repairs.

SOLD STUFF BELOW:

2006 Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 100w Head - $1000 - First year, 2006, Vintage Modern in the cool purpley tolex and equipped with the original quad of Marshall branded KT66's with not much play time. Some light rust spots on the carry handle and chassis (pictured), but otherwise nice condition. Sounds great if you're into the JTM/Plexi type sound, but with some extra options - reverb, mid-scoop, and a "high" mode which adds an extra gain stage to get into what I'd call "80s" gain territory. A substitute for a 2203, this is NOT, it has a unique voice. Really cool amp design and I'll include the original, correct footswitch (standard 2-button Marshall switch won't work FYI). This thing is super heavy so shipping is going to be pretty expensive.

1988 Hiwatt Lead 100 Trinity Head - $1000 - This amp comes from that weird era where I believe Fernandes (?) was handling the Hiwatt name, with a string of amps aimed loosely at the British sound of the time. It reminds me a bit of the split channel JCM800s, or a Jubilee, but it doesn't sound like either of those amps - it's a bit more on the looser, vintage side. On a related note, controls and tube complement are the same as a split channel JCM800 too. Anyway, the "trinity" feature of this amp is a push-pull gain pot, which when pulled out cuts some of the gain down I think to be like a crunch channel? Either way, you can't footswitch to that mode, and I think it sounds better pushed in, but it's there if you find it useful. Otherwise, it takes a standard 2-button footswitch to change from clean to lead and turn the spring reverb on/off. Tech went over this amp when I got it about 3 years ago, cleaned everything up, and replaced one of the big can filter caps - since then, it's hardly been played.

Old Stuff with Updates:

1986 Kramer Pacer Imperial Red HS - $1000 - Took this one down from Reverb, but I could still be persuaded to part with it. I'm kinda surprised it didn't sell in December but the market has been fickle. Cool imperial with matching body color headstock, recessed back plates, overall "player" condition with quite a few impressions and scratches. Someone glued in a wood block so the floyd is dive only, and the bridge humbucker is a real deal double white 1980s Seymour Duncan DCJ Custom. Cool case too with a blue plush interior. If for some reason you want a boring plain black period correct JBJ, I'm happy to install that for you instead.

1988 Kramer Pacer Custom II Holoflash - $2000 - I don't think this is an original holoflash but it's a damn good professional level job, the neck is basically spotless and feels like it is brand new. Body is in great shape with only light polishing swirls on the surface. Comes in a black piping Kramer case. Super nice example of the late 7/8 Pacer Custom's.

1986 Kramer Baretta Black - $1500 - I have black hardware for this, so I'll be swapping it over to the correct black tuners/floyd, will update the pictures when that is done. Has the correct reverse zebra JBJ humbucker. Pretty nice, low E-plate Baretta. Body has a very light finish coat and the guitar itself is quite lightweight, but the soft finish/wood means there are some impressions you can see in the wood especially at a shallow angle. See the pictures on my website and it's quite clear. The neck on the other hand is in really great shape, not chipped or dinged up. The original allen key holder was replaced and the previous holes filled (probably couldn't find a chrome one with the offset pins). What else... not much to say, it's a simple guitar, plays and sounds great, original case in great condition too.

Holoflash Pacer Custom II SOLD!

And bump for the other stuff. Happy to listen to reasonable offers on the remaining stuff.
 
Free bump for the Vintage Modern. I have one with the purple tolex as well. A misunderstood, but excellent sounding amp. GLWS
 
Carl posted some vintage modern clips that I thought were killer sounding… always wanted to try one out…

It's certainly unique sounding. It's basically a jumpered JTM45 with an SS rectifier and (digital) plate reverb. If you think of it that way, Body controls the normal channel, Detail controls the high treble channel, and then it has a separate master volume. The sound with mid boost on is your more traditional Marshall EQ and in "high dynamic range" it adds an extra gain stage in. The negative to that of course is since it's otherwise a pretty 60s-leaning Marshall the bass can get a bit flubby under high gain palm mutes without a boost. To be fair though, what I call "flubby" is intrinsic to the plexi sound so it nails what it is going for. It's just not a high gainer in the way that a JVM is and I think that's part of why it was misunderstood/sold poorly in comparison. Still, I can't think of any other amp that has actual, proper parallel signal paths like a jumpered Marshall (besides an actual jumpered marshall). I think if you keep it into that mid-gain territory it does it more authentically than a JVM crunch channel, but not as good as a real JTM45/JTM50. Since it isn't as versatile as the JVM it ends up in an awkward spot, but it is a cool niche.

Honestly it deserves to have a few comparison clips made but damn man I haven't even touched a guitar in 2 months because of work. I've been meaning to do a back to back comparison video of all the main-line Marshalls (since I have them all currently) but I'm having trouble justifying keeping some of these amps around for the sole reason of "maybe I'll make a video on it someday"
 
Very nice gear here. The Vintage Modern is he hidden gem in the Marshall line-up. I really wish I could justify snapping that one up. GLWS!!!
 
Hiwatt Lead 100R Sold!

All that's left is the Jackson and the red Kramer

I'm still firm at $1000 on the Kramer, but any takers on the Jackson at $2500 shipped? I can't imagine going lower than that for a USA made Jackson like this, let alone a special PCS model. Am I crazy? I see standard model USA Dinky's selling for more than that and there's tons of those.
 
Red Kramer Pacer sold

All that is left is the Jackson
