Marshall Amplification Reissues the Silver Jubilee 2555 Stack
My Guitar Lessons really wants one of these in our offices to play with. Its the reissued Silver Jubilee Marshall. 1987 was a great year for both Marshall amps and its owner, Jim Marshall, as it marked 50 years in the Music Industry for Jim, and the 25th Anniversary of his world-renowned British company. To celebrate these two momentous occasions, Marshall released the Silver Jubilee Series of amps, clad in silver vinyl.
