Well, it looks like those lucky bastards over at Guitar Player Magazine have finally published their review of Marshall’s handwired Super 100JH, and by all accounts she’s a beauty. In case you missed my earlier coverage (back in June ‘06,) the Super 100JH is Marshall’s homage/remake of the 100-watt stack that Jimi Hendrix used to carve [...]
