Up for sale is a Vox AC30HW2X - the hand-wired, top-of-the-line version of the legendary AC30 - in the sought-after limited-edition Fawn covering with brown diamond grille cloth and gold Vox logo, evoking the classic early-1960s AC30s.

Unlike the standard PCB-based AC30, the HW series is hand-wired on a turret board, point-to-point, for the most authentic vintage tone and serviceability. It's loaded with a pair of Celestion Alnico Blue 12" speakers (the "X" in the model name) - the same speakers that gave the original AC30 its unmistakable chime and bloom, and highly prized in their own right.

It's in great condition throughout. The valves were replaced around two years ago and have had very little use since, so it's ready to gig or record straight away. Cosmetically, it's clean, with only a little minor fraying to the fabric lining on the top and some general light wear and tear consistent with careful use — nothing that affects function, and it presents beautifully.

Tone-wise, it's everything an AC30 should be: shimmering top-end chime, rich harmonic breakup as you push it, and that famous three-dimensional Top Boost voicing.
