SCAR Amplification

There were a lot more project amps that came through Surf City Amp Room. I am coming across many duplicates, but there are thousands of photos. I have yet to show all the guitars that came through our two Vintage Guitar and Amplifier Retail Stores.

More Projects.

More wonderful projects that came through the doors of Surf City Amp Room.

More projects that came from Surf City Amp Room = SCAR Amplification. More to come as I filter through the hundreds of projects that passed through my shop.

In 2013, I saw the need for a smaller, lightweight 30-watt amplifier. So, I designed a simple guitar amplifier intended as a Fender Princeton on steroids, which, when overdriven, sang like a Marshall with overdrive and sustain. It had a 12" Speaker all-tube amplifier with a lightweight pine cabinet at 30 lbs and 30 watts of power. I was ahead of the curve, as many monster amps now go to the wayside. We only built less than 50 of them, and they were priced at $1,400, being made in the USA and hand-wired; as you can see in the second photo, the repair access was easy behind the rear plexiglass panel, and the tubes was mounted on the underside. All the components were full-size and of the highest quality, which is now what one would expect to pay for a Fender Princeton. Because of the low production volume at the time, it was not a sustainable business venture; however, it would be a market hit now.

Since I last posted anything on this page, I wanted to start adding content showing some of the many projects I have worked on.

We stopped production of SCAR amplifiers a few years ago, we did not build enough demand so we phased out production. I have a couple of the original proto types.

SCAR now has a retail store, Way Up in the Hills of Nevada County Ca. Located just outside of Nevada City and Grass Valley. We carry many unique guitars and SCAR Amps
