It is often said that they sounded awful, but looked cool and were durable.  But there were some famous artists who played Kustoms.  Just maybe not much anymore. 

Grog:
I bought my LP-12 amp from a Kustom collector from Texas, Bryan Sawyer i believe. He would sponsor booths at guitar shows & invite Bud Ross to attend. My amp was a “Mallard” in his huge collection of Kustom amps & guitars.

I really wanted a Kustom when I was very young.  I loved the look especially.  This is the first time I made a Black Friday purchase, but I found a Kustom practice amp for only $100.  It's definitely worth that.  But since it's only a practice amp, obviously that's not the same thing as buying an amp you can gig with.  It was a fantastic deal, though, and I actually needed it.

John and Tom Fogerty used Kustom amps on stage back in the day.

They often go pretty cheap , but you see more and more fetching collector prices.
I was never that crazy about their tone, they were loud though.
I suspect there’s a ton of them around here in basements and barns.
