Put that way, it seems like a bargain.

Re: Cunningham Amps
I can't see him selling at those prices. I mostly build Hi Fi Valve stuff now. Even have pre orders.

Re: Cunningham Amps
Sadly if you want to design original amps and manufacturer them in NZ you have to charge a comparatively high price to cover your costs and allow for a reasonable margin. Additionally, it is highly unlikely that you will sell enough of them to make any money over the long term if your factor in your operating costs.
I wish them all the best and would love to hear what they sound like.

Re: Cunningham Amps
Nice looking builds but serious money.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Re: Cunningham Amps
I've met Tim, he is a thoroughly nice chap and his workmanship is outstanding. They're great amps.
So are the ones that Mike builds with BG's cabs.
