Looks like something designed only for use at trade show demo booths, that thing won't last 10 minutes in the average band van

Gibson made a similar amp a few years back didn't they?

I saw a Marshall Bluesbreaker done like that (plexiglass cabinet) and also a Selmer 2x12 combo - all years ago at a guitar show at the Guildhall in Newcastle.
