This particular listing is for the 2003 Marshall 1962JAG Limited Edition Bluesbreaker Combo, #23/40, Serial No. M-2003-22-1169-A

Now here is a plush ride! The 1962JAG Limited Edition Bluesbreaker combo was built in conjunction with Jaguar Cars Ltd., to commemorate Marshall’s 40th anniversary in high style. Exclusively limited to only 40 amplifiers, this is #23. Combined with the Eric Clapton provenance, this is surely one of the most collectible amps Marshall has produced.

Manufactured in January 2003, the 1962JAG is a gold-plated, leather-covered beauty based on the classic 1962 Vintage Reissue “Bluesbreaker” combo. Each chassis was manually punched before being sent for gold plating, and over 150 additional components in all (including the foot pedal) are gilded with a gorgeous mirror finish. The amps were assembled entirely by hand, right down to the hand-soldered potentiometers and tube sockets. Once assembled at the Bletchley factory, the amps were send to Jaguar’s trim shop in Coventry where they were hand-trimmed in white Jaguar leather. A snowy leaping-cat logo is embossed in the upper right corner. Loaded with two Celestion G12 model 652 alnico speakers. Includes gold-plated foot switch and documentation. Number 23 of 40, 230 IEC socket (*** Please Note: This amplifier is configured for 230V operation. It is very likely that the transformer has taps for US voltage too, but I have not checked, so it will require a Step Up Transformer for use in the USA unless you have it converted internally. A professional can do this easily as long as the taps are there.) The condition overall is excellent without any serious issues, damage, repair or modifications. There are some minor cosmetic scuffs here and there which were on the amp when it was received. It has not been used by the current owner.

Provenance: All items were purchased from Bonhams Auction House in New York during The Eric Clapton sale of Guitars and Amps in aid of the Crossroads Centre, on March 9th, 2011. Make’n Music is happy to offer them for sale on consignment from the original purchaser. Certificates of Authenticity signed by Eric Clapton are included.
