I’ve got 4 real Mesas at this moment. I started playing in 1976, and a vaunted Boogie was the holy grail for me. My first, a wood/wicker Mk III Simul-Class 1x12, came in the 80s and I played nothing but Boogies for years after. Randall is a visionary amp builder, and I hated to read of the sale but business is business, I suppose. It is, indeed, the end of an era.
I did finally get that original Boogie, a ‘76, some 40-odd years later. Randall made it, and it’s staying with me.
EDIT: Thought I’d ad a pic of that one. Number A511, an early example made in the original “Home of Tone” workshop.
