| What are some amp recommendations for weissenborn guitars. I mostly play at home and some private parties and restaurants. I use a Fishman humbucker sound hole pickup. I do not need amp for vocals. |

Even though it does have a mic channel I think the Loudbox Mini is a great tool for your needs. Not cheap but not super expensive for excellent quality.

| Another vote for Fishman Loudbox Mini. Small, reliable, high power/weight ratio, aux 1/4" and 1/8" input jacks on the back, XLR out on the back, can be tilted back to use as personal monitor, etc, etc, etc. The padded carrying bag is also recommended. |

I have two pickups on my Weissenborn, a Sunrise soundhole pickup and an under the bridge pickup. I run a stereo cord to a Marshall acoustic amp with a stereo input.
This amp is a two channel amp that allows me to balance the signal from each pickup and I get a great sound.

Well, I guess I have to point our that Ben Harper, who single-handedly popularized the Weissenborn in recent years, has a definite preference for amps for his Weiss..the Dumble Overdrive Special. So if you have about $200,000 under your mattress, you ought to just pick one up....I've heard him play through it, and it is like angels singing...
Here's a clip where he talks about getting his Dumble from David Lindley (the other Weissenborn guy...)

Here's one of his (he has 5):
