Old Diplomat Guitar and Jansen Amp
Hi guys.
A friends dad has had these two for approx 45 years or so and is considering selling them. I was asked what they may be worth but have no idea.
The Amp is an old Jansen 8500 solid state and the guitar is a diplomat. ..model unknown.
Both are in very good condition.
Saw one of these amps go for around $100 recently on TM which may have been a good buy.
Need some pricing and history on the diplomat please.
Thanks

Pretty sure I had one of those old Jansen things. Don't think I paid 50 bucks for it.
Blew up after 20 mins of use. Apparently they don't like fuzz pedals.

Looks like a setup that I traded to a friend in Auckland (for an Antoria) about 20 years ago. The Jansen should be a 30 watt output with a 12" speaker.

Re: Old Diplomat Guitar and Jansen Amp
the guitar looks pre 70`s, start at $500 and go down from there.
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.
