Divided By 13 BTR 23 Head + Matching 2x12F Cabinet (2014 Fred Taccone Build) – Red/Cream – Mullard Tubes
For sale is my complete Divided By 13 rig consisting of a BTR 23 head and matching 2x12F cabinet, both finished in the highly desirable Red/Cream color scheme.
This amplifier was built on August 2nd, 2014 during the original Fred Taccone era and represents the craftsmanship, tone and attention to detail that established Divided By 13 as one of the world's premier boutique amplifier builders.
The head and cabinet are sold together only. I am not interested in separating the rig.
Condition
The amplifier has been carefully maintained and remains in excellent overall condition.
The head is exceptionally clean and fully functional.
The cabinet shows only minor cosmetic signs of use, including a few small marks on the tolex and a handful of tiny imperfections that are consistent with normal use over time. Overall, the rig presents beautifully and I would conservatively rate its cosmetic condition at approximately 95%.
