Description

A vintage 1962 Gibson GA-18T combo amp in fantastic cosmetic condition. This amp is extremely clean, with only a couple minor tolex scuffs. The speaker was replaced in 1965 with an OEM replacement. The GA-18T has great, unique tone--featuring both tweed-esque midrange grit and some Vox-y jangle. On top of that it has a beautiful, all-tube tremolo. Great for blues or rock--studio work or small stages. This amp has been cleaned and serviced. It is fully functional and sounds great. Includes original instruction manual and schematic.
