You have found a great condition 1959 Gibson GA-18 Explorer amp. This is a vintage, original GA-18, not the GA-18T, which was produced in 1960-61. The 1959 GA-18 had the 10 Jenson Special Design speaker, but otherwise the specs are the same. The listing includes the following original elements of the Explorer. Tweed and grill cloth. Normal wear shown for this vintage: staining and variation in the tweed, scuffs, etc. As shown in the images, the grill cloth has one broken thread and a small rash in one spot. These were there when I. This amp and I’ve not attempted a repair. Otherwise the grill cloth is fabulous and the Gibson badge is perfect. Jenson 10 speaker is. Dated 1st week of 1960. Foot switch in very good condition. All feet in place. What’s not original. A few replaced caps. A new 3 prong grounded cord has been installed for safety. A custom cover has been added, which is in new condition. Tubes of course have changed since. But vintage tubes are in the power section. The GA-18 has great tremolo and the pedal works as it should. This just sounds as fabulous as it looks. The GA-18 has the following tube types, and here’s how it’s currently populated. Two 12ax7 preamp tubes, (currently has Groovetubes GT12AX7M tubes).
