This is in relationship to what Derrick Mau asked about this picture..

quote:
Hey Baz,
Nice lookin' Vox amp you got there.
How does that amp sound for steel guitar?
Can you give a litle history about that amp?

The Vox AC-15 was VERY sweet with the Hawaiian Guitar although the guitar I put through it could have been better..

The Guitar in the background is the rarest item in that picture see http://vintagehofner.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/earlybands/band28.html
Present value $10,00-$15,000

As for the Vox 'AC-15'
it's a 1958 TV Vox AC 15 Combo See.. http://www.ampaholics.org.uk/vox_ac_15s_from_1961.htm

Currently selling at around $7500 - $10,000
Note the logo on the RIGHT hand side... only the very first 8-10 were that way.. after seeing the latest Fender amps in November 1958, Jennings (That's Jennings of JMI NOT the 'Possum' one) decided to put the logo on the left to avoid confusion at a distance at concerts ..(That's how the story goes anyway)
