For those of you under the age of 30, Kustom with a “K” is most likely an unfamiliar guitar amp brand to you. But if you need a little history, Kustom was one of the very first “trendy” brands to integrate solid-state technology into its amplifiers and PA systems in the early Seventies. Its signature “Tuck-n-Roll” amplifiers, covered in padded Naugahyde, had an unmistakable look that resembled something between an overstuffed armchair and the "Michelin Man" tire mascot. Even so, these distinctive amps arrived in eye-catching, metallic-sparkle colors and were adopted by many popular artists of the time, from John Fogerty to the Jackson 5, and not too long ago, Sheryl Crow.
