Several years ago, I stumbled into Mark Abrahamian's #2 'Ground-Up' Rockstah build utilizing a Metro Chassis / components and Sourmash headshell. The Chassis is signed and came with the original purchase receipt. After acquiring it, I sent it out to George M for a once over / checkup and he confirmed that is was indeed Mark's work. It's sort of a 'prototype' - before he had the 'Rockstah' logo labels silkscreened for the transformers. I know his schematics are a click away on the internet, and any competent tech can build the recipe, so in that regard it's not super rare or unobtanium, but it is kind of cool that its one of the first production amps he built - as opposed to his mods in an existing amp.
 
Fortin modded VTM120. Great amp. Was my main amp for 11 years. Pretty sure only VTM he modded.
Hermansson Laney PA. So fucking cool just to look at. Lol! Sounded killer on all 3 channels
Teisco Checkmate 50. All PTP wired although not very neatly. Great pedal platform amp.
Hayden MoFo 30. Cool looking and sounding amp. Loop was weird and affected the tone a lot.
