Vintage 1960s Carlsbro CS EL34 Valve Guitar Amplifier Head
Vintage 1960s Carlsbro CS EL34 Valve Guitar Amplifier Head
This is one of the great ‘undervalued’ Carlsbro amplifiers, made in the very very early 1960s. I bought this locally from the original owner who got this from Carlsbro themselves. He’d had it since new and kept it in incredible condition throughout. This is one of the early ones that include incredible transformers, very similar to the Marshall amplifiers of the day. The 2x EL34 valves and the 3x ECC83s are newer JJ replacements. This amplifier has recently returned from a leading UK amplifier tech where it was checked over working. Please check out the in-depth pictures below as these form part of our description.
At The Music Locker we will do all we can for you to get the instrument you want. You’re more than welcome to come and have a play on this, coupled with one of our vintage guitars!

The Music Locker prides itself on offering vintage and collectable pre-owned instruments and equipment (the Products).
We take all reasonable steps to ensure the equipment has been inspected by a competent person in the UK to ensure it complies with UK safety standards. This may mean it does not comply with the current standards in the country in which it will be subsequently used. It is the purchasers’ responsibility to ensure it is inspected by a competent person knowledgeable with the relevant electrical safety standards within that country, prior to connecting to any live electrical circuit.
It is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all items as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, frets, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the item is not operating at optimum performance levels. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the item in more depth upon receiving.
The Music Locker cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised.
