Sexiest amps?
What si the sexiest amp ever made? For instance, I'm a blackface guy, I admit they are super ugly & old-looking. Silverface Fender are even uglier! Tweed are sexy. Marshall combos (1974, etc..) are sexy, with their gold lining. What do you think is a super sexy amp?

I agree Marshal combos are sexy (if an amp can even be sexy), but Blackface amps ugly and old looking no way.

Let me re-phrase that (as I worship the BF/SF tone) : they are so plain-jane. The black tolex, expecially

I think anything pre SF Fender is the sexiest. Marshall and Vox are right up there too.

The Fender Blackface amps are to guitar gear, what Channel's little black dress is to haute couture.

No love for the tuck-and-roll Kustom amps of the 70s?
How about the red and purple tolex VOX AC-15 and 30s?

I don't look at amps for sexy. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Fender and Fender style BF and Tweed both define great tone and classic looks.

I love the look of tweed Fenders, the Marshalls mentioned earlier, and who doesn't love the look of a Vox AC30 ? That's right, everybody loves the look, the sound on the other hand I wouldn't know. I've never played through a Vox, but those things look good.

I like the white AC30, limited edition I guess. Lean a White Falcon on the side and I need a cold shower. Something about the white and gold.

RE: Blackface - I think they have kind of a classy tuxedo look, and by extension makes me think of the classic "little black dress". Ya, that's sexy.

Close seconds would be the Fender/VOX Blonde cosmetics. It's fun to be superficial once in a while, and accessories make the outfit.
