Kustom Guitar Amps

When Kustom® amplifiers first burst onto the American music scene in 1966, no one had ever seen anything like it. Covering its amps in eye-popping automotive upholstery, Kustom instantly created the most visually distinctive amplification products of the era.

Being seen with players such as legendary Motown bassist James Jamerson, revolutionary rockers The MC5 and Creedence Clearwater Revival's John Fogerty, Kustom amps earned respect on concert stages and in recording studios and rehearsal spaces across the country. This was due to their punchy tones, rugged dependability and one-of-a-kind appearance.

The concept behind Kustom came from the mind of a young entrepeneur named Bud Ross in Chanute, Kansas. Through the years that followed, Ross and his team developed a wide range of products, from classic guitar amps to high-powered bass models and flexible P.A. systems.
