The NEW acoustic 360/361....

Well folks, as many of you know, I have been following the "saga" of the "new" acoustic amps and cabs being brought back to life by George and now it seems as though it has happened (what a LONG strange trip it's been!). Apparently, he has began delivery of the new 360/361s. As a matter of fact, I "believe" there will soon be a review of a gentleman's latest "acquisition" here shortly - a 360 head and (2) 361 cabs....Nick901....take it away!!

Forgive me if I'm going to see this as just another one of those many "New Acoustic" threads where nothing happens. I'd love to be proved wrong though.

can someone explain how anyone can sell an amp branded as "Acoustic" without the GC brand suing the pants off of them?

Sure, I'll try...as I understand it, George made a deal with GC for the rights to reproduce the acoustic brand name...at least that's what I understand.

Man, that sure doesn't seem likely... The folks who make the current Acoustic line (what's left of St. Louis music, right?) might have something to say about that...

You are RIGHT!!! a thousand times over!! Hell, I'm no defender of the way this thing came about. It violates every principle of business that I have ever heard..and I have NO STAKE in this whatsoever. However, I don't have the equipment, I have been corresponding (over time) with several guys that have been waiting for this thing to happen. APPARENTLY, they are now taking delivery of their amps. One of the guys has graciously agreed to post a review here. Now, were just waiting.

Here's a link to a thread about it...

Malamute here,

I'm totally selling a new line of 'Ampeg USA' amps. Hand wired and costing a billion dollars, but people are going to love em. They will look just like the old ones but be better in a bunch of ways I'm not going to tell you about.

Meet me at Forest and Cass in Detroit for a look at the brochure.

Midnight.

Know the secret handshake.

Hey guys. Settle down. I'm at work right now & can't spend time on this. As soon as I get home, I'll take some photos and tell you all about it. Then you can ask as many questions as you want. Keep your pants on.
