Bernie Marsden | Limited Edition 1959HW | Marshall

[@HarryStoneDotCom]

For the folks saying it's nothing special, it's just great that Bernie is being honoured in this way. He deserves it. Great player, great writer, great guy. Seems like a sweet amp with a different look. If you've got the money and it speaks to you, why not? Plenty of choice elsewhere if you don't.

[@capncrunch4720]

To those hacks saying it snothing special, they're the same ones raving about Line 6 tone.

[@misterknightowlandco]

Im glad they finally gave him a signature. He's sold quite a few amps for Marshall over the years. I own mine cuz of him. I know these will be sold out before their even released and I'll never see one, but good for bernie. Great player and writer and a pretty good guy from what i can tell. His book is really good too. I recommend it.

[@toivonencresto]

Wasn’t for the guitar he owns this guy should have been forgotten totally. He is for sure a Great and very nice guy, but as a guitarist, as a musician, he is nothing special. Marshall 1959 is fantastic as usual, but i want a Limited edition Marshall because of Bernie Marsden? No.

[@HarryStoneDotCom]

@@toivonencresto - you seen him live? While you are absolutely entitled to your subjective opinion, of course, I think 'nothing special' is rather unfair. This guy could entertain practically anyone all day and all night such is his ability, and not make any mistakes. Dont let the fact he isn't Steve Vai fool you, Bernie can play the sh*t out of a guitar straight into an amp, and will deliver every time because he is a bulletproof old pro. I would love to hear you do what he can do. That and the fact that he has written some killer songs. Don't confuse fashion or taste for quality. There is a reason he is held with such esteem in his industry.

[@coldbastard6859]

It's still a mediocre amplifier.

[@TheGazz74]

Seeing Bernie Marsden live is an experience His sound is so dynamic and his touch is fantastic One of the best British guitarist though one of the world's best amps Love Marshall and love B.M

[@coconutlove]

Rest in Peace Bernie. Wonderful player.

[@HunterRouth]

It's about time Bernie got some respect with his time in Whitesnake. He wrote "Here I Go Again" with D.C and no one knows it. Those early Whitesnake records with Moody/Bernie are tremendously good records and songs. Those songs hold up to anything Sykes, Aldrich, Vandenberg, Hoekstra, Beach, Vai (only solos) ever wrote. Well done Bernie and thank you for all the glorious tunes!

[@rrguitar1]

Nice!!! There is the tone !!! That purple LED against the white looks beautiful

[@Markusaldrich]

Sounds great, I‘m happy, that Bernie gets a Signature Amp from Marshall. He is a very soulful player.

[@masteryoda498]

Gibson Les Paul + Marshall = Rock n Roll Heaven. Great demo from a gifted player, some very sweet tones.

[@arash9728]

indeed that's one of the best tone of Lespaul and Marshall i ever heard and also Studio Vintage and Lespaul works for me

[@Ky_fan]

Sounds incredible. Straight forward, balls to the wall tone.

[@misterknightowlandco]

The only thing I can say is that sounds absolutely perfect. THAT'S the Marshall sound and it's about time Bernie gets some love from these companies. Take my 💰

[@kickinvideo333]

Whitesnake tolex & that awesome Vintage Modern purple indicator light! It's so nice to see an all-white Marshall over the ubiquitous black on black

[@halbertking2683]

A 100 watt four input is the only amp I ever played that you feel it in your chest.Yea,Man.That's what I'm talkin about.

[@lespaul1648]

Wonderful amp...and as far as I can tell from the comments a bunch of people feel the same as I do. But there are a few haters. Why...because of the price...because it's a 100 watts...why? From the little research I did it looks like its around $2300. Which is not bad for a limited to 120 pieces which are hand wired. As for the haters...I will think about you all when I crank the shit outta the volume. Hell I hope some of them live close to me so you can here just how pretty she screams.

[@MrCleitus]

It's a 5000 dollar rig, research some more.

[@lespaul1648]

@@MrCleitus Yeah...that's if you get the matching cab. And no the amp doesn't have to be purchased with the cab. According to Marshall the cab is a recommended item. Do some more research.

Wasn’t planning on buying an amp this year, or next year for that matter. Oh well, so much for that! And what tone at such a reasonable price! Back with 18kt gold piping (real vintage)verses the modern 10kt used for so long. Beautiful! Can’t wait! The 100 watt has always been my favorite amp, this will make 3. 😁

This is one of the sexiest amps ever🔥🔥

[@leafamania1]

[@Person-cv9dj]

I dont think it can make a jam jar sound good

Depends who's playing it. Don't make that tone by itself.

[@marvelharris9540]

[@jbert7289]

Sounds so good!

[@skidco1]

That must be Bernie's fabled '59 Burst Les Paul AKA The Beast, surely worth the best part of £1m due to its history. It was up for auction in 2023 but was withdrawn when Bernie died. He had a wonderful singing voice as anyone who has heard him with an acoustic will confirm.

[@alessandrociapica5180]

Amazing sound as always. Love Bernie...

[@obscurebandfan]

Ain't got no money but Marsden's work on those early Snake albums was killer. They sounded more like a cross between Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and Thin Lizzy back in those days. His solo on "Come On" is perfect in terms of note choice and vibrato technique.

[@adamwatson6916]

The early white Snake albums were a different animal compared to their latter 80s albums. The early stuff is much more raw rock and roll.

[@ToneFreak]

I love the white snakeskin tolex, that is sharp!

[@flippercarlin1657]

I called Ken Bran at the factory in '82 or '83 specifically to ask him about Bernie's amps, I myself had a '72 Super Lead...my baby, sadly no longer have.

[@KP-vr6ft]

Classy looking piece of gear!

[@pskemster]

What an amp! It almost sounds like it nailed Paul Kossof’s tone to the t!

[@adamwatson6916]

Kossof tone is one of the very first things I try when auditioning a Marshall. Mr Bjg Fire and water and the hunter are the perfect test .

[@Thirdfish]

Marsden is a superb guitarist, one of the greats. If only Marshall could get the old blues based Whitesnake back together for an album and tour.

[@RozsaAmplificationLLC]

It sounds GREAT! True "Classic" tone!! :)

[@jimyon8259]

Playing his '59 through his own signature '59. Nice!

[@Stefan-Van-der-Pulst]

1959 is the model type for the amp not a year. You don't call a 2203 master volume a '03. The 1959 SLP was produced from 1965 till 1981 and later came the reisssues...So you can say playing his '59 LP but not his '59 Marshall.

[@PedalPalFx]

Just Amazing! I love it
