Description
A vintage 1965 Gibson GA-17RVT Scout combo amp in player-grade condition. It has a few cosmetic issues but retails its orginal transformers and largely original circuitry. The original rotary power switch is long gone, so we replaced it with a On/Off potentiometer, which allowed for the addition of a tone control. These amps can be quite bright with single coil pickups, so the tone control comes in quite handy. The amp features a great clean tone that transitions into a crispy breakup as you push the volume. Also present are long-spring reverb and an all-tube tremolo. This amp has been cleaned and serviced. It is fully functional and sounds great.
