The Marshall 50th Anniversary website countdown has finished .... (Page 1 of 2)

What amp?.....A JB Signature? Everyone else seems to be getting one.

No 1w Jubilee though.... yet

1 lousy watt?? Whats the point?  Hey, thats just me..

I agree, it seems too gimmicky.  I do love my class 5, but I wish they would have left that be their low wattage amp and thats it.  I hate to speculate too much since the information is very limited at this point, but at the same time, I also understand that if I don't like it...I simply don't have to buy it.

I have a marshallized 0.5 watt guytronix tube amp....it kills.  These better be tube amps, not that I would buy one.

I don't necessarily agree with it being 'too gimmicky'. I can see where you're coming from, but I think it is cool to make it a bit special (otherwise why bother tying it to the 50th anniversary?). But maybe that's just me falling for consumerism

There's speculation that there COULD in theory be a production run of these to follow a limited release.. but they also don't say '50th anniversary' on the front so perhaps they're just going to be a new production run (eventually). Only time and NAMM will tell...

In this economy, I can't fault any company for heeding the collective voice of consumers, as Epiphone did. To those who somehow feel burned by Epiphone's resuming production of the JB Goldtop, a simple question: Would you have still wanted/purchased this guitar if you thought it was going to be a regular production model?

If your answer is "Yes" (as it was for me), what difference does it make to you how many are produced? It is a fantastic value, and a great-sounding guitar at any price. I don't care if Epiphone cranks out a million of 'em, nobody's going to get mine away from me...   

If your answer is "No," I can certainly understand your feeling burned a little by Epi's change of heart. If it bothers you that much, just sell the thing and move on. But can we maybe have a moratorium on the issue around here? I'd rather spend my time enjoying my guitar, and being glad for the hundreds of other players who will have the chance to own one...

And, look on the bright side: If the new run of Goldtops sells like hotcakes (as I suspect it will), maybe that will inspire Epiphone to come out with a Bonaburst the rest of us can afford, too!   

There are definitely full scale amps coming for the 50th as well as a few artist sigs through the year (Wylde and Satch for sure).

I thought the 1 watters are a great idea, most likely lower price range, perfect for the majority of people who play in the bedrooms and will let a lot of younger people and those without tonnes of cash to spend to get something from the 50th year. Also gives Marshall a great way to test the desire for a wider range of low watters beyond the class5.

We'll all find out at NAMM no doubt.

Oh, and the person that leaked the 1w shots will be put through legal hell no doubt, all dealers and those who were privy to the 50th stuff had to sign binding NDAs. Then again Marshall might like a little hype before NAMM.
