Actually I DO have them but they're PDF and damn it all...I can't figure out how to post them...go figure....
Is there a website yet?
What kind of agreement do they have with the Acoustic sold at Guitar Center as far as use of the trademark, logo, etc.?

Hope the new ones are as great as the originals were relative to the competition.
Love those old brochures with the amps lined up in the woods too!

I love my B200 combo, great value amp. These new ones look amazing. I hope the prices aren't too steep. I guess it's a good time to have a GC employee in the family with a discount to take advantage of! 
Real or photoshop?
I'm not so sure.
Nostalgic look, but I'm not so sure there's a room in the market for new lines of low tech amps. If they weren't called "Acoustic" and didn't have baby blue - would they sell?

I don't think these are going through GC.
The GC Acoustic brand is not an actual continuation or resurrection of the original Acoustic amps. They just acquired the name or something and put out amps reminiscent of the old line. These new amps are apparently an actual resurrection of the old Acoustic product line. Hence my previous question earlier in the thread.
No photoshop here.
I can't get into the "business" end of the new Acoustic...that's not me. I'm merely a bass player who will soon be playing the new 360/361 amp for the company (and proudly so!)
I CAN, however, tell you that this has been a LONG time in the making with a cast of thousands (to coin a movie phrase)
If you have any questions as to the company itself - I would refer you to [email protected]
The President of the company can, no doubt, explain it MUCH better than I
I thought I'd read these were modern designs, not reissues; updated but trying to be faithful to the spirit.
I know that being actual amps, they can't possibly as good as a plug-in on a laptop, but is there really a need to start putting them down based on a tiny picture? It's not as if they have tubes in them.
