I had one of these here for repair. I got it going and then cranked it up and played the opening line to 'Folsom Prison'. My wife ran to me and said 'Oh my god, that's THE sound'!!!
I knew they only made around 70 of them, but I'm pretty sure they were made from at least 1954 to 1956 or '57. Scotty Moore didn't purchase his until mid 1955, and his is only the 3rd one ever made! But yeah, if a company could please start manufacturing these things (CORRECTLY and to the exact original specs), that would be great!
