1950's Amp Restoration!

We recently restored an old Gibson GA50 to its former glory! This amp sounds stunning & is incredibly easy to play with amazing sustain whether it is set to clean or cranked into overdrive! This amp also used the old school ‘Octal’ preamp tubes, which are an 8-pin configuration more commonly associated with that of a power tube. The tone is very 3 dimensional & addictive to play on! Please feel free to share as you like!

Holy cow!! I'll bet this would look and sound nice in my living room!! How bad of shape was it in??!

Good Thursday morning to you DennisJr :) It took a great deal of work to get it back to proper working order. All the coupling capacitors were leaking DC & there were numerous faulty solder connections, the Bass EQ pot was faulty, it needed new power tubes & more but she honestly sounds & feels amazing now! By the way, great guitar you have there!

Thanks for tuning in;
Trace Davis, President / Founder
