Comments
Malcolm Young, don't sell his '59 White Falcon, just before the second show at Paris (Bercy, 27 February 2009), his guitar technician, go on stage and tune his White Falcon... And I don't think that amp model really exist : "KTM100", malcolm have an old JTM45/100 Watt loaded whith KT66 tubes (one of his favorite amp whith his superbass)
