Description
A vintage 1953 Gibson GA-40 Les Paul tweed tube amp in player-grade condition. This amp has had plenty of work done over the years. While many of the components have been replaced, the tone remains true to the original. It has a great, woody clean tone that turns into a thick overdrive as you turn up the volume. The amp also features a unique, 3-speed tremolo. Due to its old-school layout, the amp does have a bit more hum than your average amp. However, the the hum is not a problem at normal playing volumes. This amp has been cleaned and tested. It is fully functional and sounds great.
