  35. marshall amps

  36. I personally liked the Gibson SB’s best, followed closely by the Marshall Amp’s and the P-Rod II cinco de mayo (white/green/red). The Gibson’s hold a special spot for me because I’ve owned a Gibson Les Paul for 12 years, and have the case to match the kicks. The first time I saw the brown Gibson hard shell case with that pink fur interior, I was blown away. When I saw the case inspired shoes, itt was a must for me to cop those Gibson SB’s.

    It wasn’t that powerful of a year for SB. Hopefully they can make up for it in 09.
