1950's Amplifiers



Here are several Gibson amps from the 50's, including: A GA-5, Les Paul Jr. (in separate photo); a '53 Gibsonette; a '54 GA-40 Les Paul; and a late 50's GA-40 Les Paul. The late 50's GA-40 was a project because the cabinet was completely gone, so this new one was made. The others are original and all have great vintage tube sound. Some models are made to this day with the same circuits that originated in the 50's. The Gibsonette and older Les Paul have their original grilles, including the bakelite script "LP" on the GA-40. These usually don't last over the years. The GA-5 is missing the front "Gibson" logo, but is otherwise all original.
