Silktone “Silktone Amp” 12W Handwired Tube Combo with Tuki Cover – 2023

No Sales Tax For Customers Outside Of California.

The Silktone Amp is one of the most talked-about boutique combos of the last decade, celebrated for its handwired construction, dynamic touch response, and innovative “Silktone switch” that takes you from pristine American cleans to raw, harmonically rich tweed-inspired overdrive.

This 2023 Silktone Amp comes in near mint condition with a fitted Tuki cover, offering both protection and style.

We ran the amp through its paces, which was a satisfying effort!  I've been wondering when I'd stumble into one of these, having been curious if they live up to the hype.  They definitely do!  The tone is awesome, and the amp just runs so quiet.  

We tested all the tubes in our process.  This amp is 100% good to go!

At 12 watts of handwired, point-to-point tube power, it’s the perfect size for studio sessions, home playing, and even small gigs, with enough headroom to handle pedals beautifully.

Players praise the Silktone for its simplicity, organic feel, and the way it responds to your guitar’s volume knob—making it a go-to for expressive players who value tone above all. Built in the USA with premium components, this amp rivals the best offerings from vintage Fender and boutique makers alike.

At Mahar’s Vintage Guitars, we specialize in rare and boutique amplifiers.

Shipping policy:

When you purchase this item you are hereby agreeing to this shipping policy. We remove tubes from amps that could be damaged in shipping.  These cases require the buyer to do some assembly on delivery.  We do this because we have experienced shipping issues in the past, and this is our prevention measure.  Vintage amps are sold as-is because they can need service intermittently.  Everything is tested here in our shop on the way into our inventory, and again before shipping.  We will cover shipping damage, but we cannot be responsible for the failure of vintage components in 20-to-50-plus year old amps. Shipments will require signature on delivery, no exceptions.  If there is damage, the buyer must retain all packing materials intact and picture them immediately and send them to sales@maharsvintageguitars.com.  Less than 1% of our shipments are damaged in transit, and we are committed to making sure your item arrives safely, but we are taking these additional measures to make sure you are happy with your purchase.
