I'd like to thank you guys again for all your help with my amp purchase. After researching and then listening to the amps I could find I decided on the Genz-Benz Shenandoah Jr. What a great sounding amp! Best I've heard. Ken Stanton Music in Marietta Ga. gave me a good deal plus they threw in a $40 cover with it. Better then any deal I could find on the net. It's nice to know some things can still be haggled down.

Thanks again, Bentman

Thanks for the post....I'm thinking about buying an acoustic amp, and the Genz-Benz Shenandoahs are on my short list. Hearing from a happy user is a good reference!

If you're serious about this model this is a good price. No shipping and no tax.

Given that we can buy Ovations, Hamers and Takamines here why can't we buy Genz Benz?

They don't import them, and if they only make them for the US market they'll have that weeny 110 volt thing.

Thanks, Bentman, but I'm a "try before buy" person.....Elderly Instruments in Lansing (80 miles away from me) has it for only $10 more. I don't think my local Guitar Center (2 miles away)has Genz-Benz, otherwise I'd just go there.

Shroeder, I may have dreamt this, but I'm pretty sure Genz Benz picked up a UK distributor at Frankfurt this year, so they should be available in the UK in a few months. I've owned several 110V amps, mostly vintage Fenders, and they work perfectly in the UK & Europe with an industrial 110V transformer

500 km? I think it's worth the drive...or maybe take one of the trains I hear so much about. It couldn't take any longer then a ten mile drive in Atlanta. =)

"Shroeder, I may have dreamt this"

You didn't - but let's be honest here, if you are dreaming about distributorships you are working way too hard. I'd prescribe Guinness for you but they took away my licence.

Danke - they have a website as well www.sutherlandtrading.com - but it's only part built. At least there is a distributor now. Maybe I'll get to see one one day.
