RIP Dr James Charles (Jim) Marshall OBE

Dr James Charles (Jim) Marshall OBE, of those world-famous Marshall amps loved by guitarists across the planet, born 29 July 1923, sadly died on 5 April 2012.

Rather than a one-minute silence, we have put together a short YouTube video in honour of 'The Father of Loud' as a 'One-Minute Song Tribute to Jim Marshall starring five guitar legends' at:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9KOh7JeGkg&feature=channel

Jim once signed one of our own guitar amps in huge gold letters at a music convention.

He was a lovely guy and will be greatly missed. Our deepest sympathies to his family and friends.
