Killer VHT-era Pittbull 50/CL with a Fryette badge plus factory-issue purple tolex and wheat grill. It has a true aesthetic "je ne sais quoi" that won't let up. It's a bit dandy but without the put-upon fussiness white and gold.
Sound wise, it's a ripping Pittbull. I went on a VHT/Fryette buying spree recently and then discovered... most of the Pittbulls sound pretty close! This one is maybe a bit sweeter and more vintage, particularly when using the tube rectifier. Like someone spliced a little JMP 2204 DNA into a Pittbull. Still gets brutal, particularly boosted, but it has the pleasant compression I associate with a 2204 rather than the unforgiving quickness of the bigger Pittbulls. A little less hollow in the midrange as well, but make no mistake, it sounds like a VHT.
A few marks on the tolex, but sounds great. FC-4 footswitch included.

Cash can go either way. You can send offers on whatever, but you are probably getting the vibe. And broadly I need less stuff!

Guitars: Banker, Seger, OG BC Rich, RIP, Gibson (picky), Jaydee, Anderson (picky), Aristides T/0, cool MIJ (Crews/Momose/Navigator…)
