Fender / Twinolux EC Eric Clapton / 2012 / Tweed / Amp
Here's another revamp of the classic circuits. A Fender Custom Shop Vibrolux EC, designed following Mr. Eric Clapton's requirements and based on the legendary Twin Amp from the 50's. Huge power control, with an attenuation and selective speaker function, plus the tremolo circuit.
You can switch power down from 40W to 20W, and additionally disable one speaker. The sound possibilities of this amp are huge! This is the first artist Fender amp ever made. Handwired by the Fender Custom Shop, not an easy find!
Looks pretty much brand-new.

Guitar Giraffe, Spain
In the last few years, online sale for musical instruments has experienced an amazing growth, but has passed right through the pre-owned market (that is, in Spain), limiting it to specialised forums and private owners. This is why Guitar Giraffe was born, the first physical and online second hand guitar and amp store (we like to call it "pre-owned", since we see a big difference between both terms), with a clear commitment of giving new options to guitarists locally and worldwide. Pre-owned guitar stores, so common in UK and USA, were practically nonexistent in Spain. We’ve wanted to fill that empty space by becoming the first physical and online store in our country focused on pre-owned guitars and amps.
