I don't think I am going to be buying any new guitars

No, probably not... There are some great import guitars at not a lot of money. The under $300 market is pretty strong.

I wonder if this is really 500 watts:

Pushing that much through a 10" speaker means it's going to suck - or be a surprisingly good speaker at that price range. I'm tempted to order one just to see if it's a true 500 watt RMS. Maybe it's peak wattage, but that's still insane at this price point.

if it's a solid amp, you should buy one - if you're going to perform.

My Marshall (down here) has a few wrinkles in the tolex. I don't mind. The store gave me a discount on it. But, I wonder if it speaks to their QC?

Also, my memory is usually pretty shitty.

But, not for guitar stuff and not for Gibson stuff!

See:

So, yeah... There are some years, even a decade, where you want to avoid Gibson products - unless you know what you're doing, know what you're getting, and can live with the end result long-term.

The good news is that they're usually pretty inexpensive for those outlying years.

LoL

Im jamming with Chris and Verle and Bob!

Man, that took some digging. It's 500 watt peak and only 75 watt RMS. (But still a lot of bang for the buck.)

Probably loud as fuck

I don't think I've seen an amp with such a discrepancy between peak and RMS. but 70 watts is still pretty loud and a good bargain for the money (assuming it's acceptable quality).
