FS: Custom Mesa Stiletto head (used on the '05 Vai US tour)

[daveweiner]

Hi folks. I have a 2005 Mesa Stiletto (v1) head for sale. I used this on the US leg of the Vai Real Illusion tour in '05. The amp is stock but Mesa made me a custom housing to my specs. AAA quilted maple in Aqua blue with black grill cloth and silver piping.

Here are pics of it:

I simply don't use it now. It's been turned on only a handful of times since that 05 tour. Killer amp, I just prefer different tones.

It's 100% mint but I must say, this amp has a hum. It has always been there straight out of the box. It's not an apparent hum at all, but it is there. Could be normal, I never played another Stiletto to find out. It was never loud enough to send back to Mesa nor did it ever bother me. I'm just disclaiming that it does have an amp hum so that if you buy it and you hear a hum, it's not a surprise.

Comes with a cover and footswitch.

$1200 shipped in the ConUS. Paypal payment preferred. Buyer to pay Paypal fees if any.

Any questions, feel free to PM or email me. [email protected] or IM at daveweiner1 (aim) or [email protected] (msn).

Thanks for taking a look.

I've had it up for sale on my forum for a few months and am now just starting to spread it around to other forums to move it and make room for new gear. But these pics have been on my website for years.

Amp is sold. Thanks Joe. Enjoy. Thanks everyone for taking a look. Keep rockin.

 

[Nick_cor]

What amp are you using now Dave?

 

[daveweiner]

I've been using VHT Ultraleads for the last 8 years with a stint on the Mesa in 05. Just not my thing. However I just picked up a Fender '59 Bassman RI and a Marshall 1987XL head for the studio.

Congratulations, Joe!

I have the 2x12 combo and a Head of Stilettos.

But none of mine are such a sweet colour. Congats again!
