You will be hard pressed to find this amp in better condition anywhere. My SWR Strawberry Blonde is near mint with zero Tolex damage and unlike those advertised elsewhere, this one has a working reverb. The MOD 3 spring medium decay which replaced the stock Acutronics one is an excellent replacement choice. The SWR Strawberry Blonde Acoustic Combo Amp is the little sister of the California Blonde and it's great for all kinds of acoustic instruments: violins, cellos, acoustic basses, mandolins, and guitars. Pots cleaned and she's ready for your next gig. Price is $300. Possible trades for G&L or Mesa gear From the Manufacturer- The SWR Strawberry Blonde Acoustic Amp is a single channel, 80-watt combo made for your acoustic guitar, built to reproduce the thick, rich tones from your acoustic, and send them right into the ears of your listeners. Great not just for guitars, but also for other acoustic instruments like orchestral acoustic instruments (violins, cellos, basses), acoustic jazz bass, mandolins, and many other stringed acoustic instruments. Perfect for smaller gigs like small clubs, rehearsals, and coffee shops.

The Baby Blue combo was better for bass. In fact Michael Manring said it was one of his favorite amps to play through. I wish I could get my hands on one of the first run of that model.
