Up for sale, a 1963 Ampeg Jet J-12-A vintage tube amp in perfect working order. Not to be confused with the numerous “Jet” reissues offered by Ampeg over the decades, this is a genuine original J-12-A, freshly serviced by our techs here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar and converted for use with 6V6 power tubes. The tone is thick, complex, and clean, with a surprising amount of headroom and punch. Of course maxing out the volume can yield everything from a throaty overdriven roar to fizzy sizzle, and the character of the overdrive can be easily sculpted with the tone control. Top things off with a thick, throbbing tremolo and you have a very impressive amp. The chassis has clean chrome plating with original transformers. The stock CTS pots have visible date codes from the 37th week of’63 and the preamp has been fully recapped to ensure optimal performance. The multi-section can capacitor is original and still functions as intended. The tubes consist of a matched pair of 6V6 power tubes, two octal RCA 6SL7 preamp tubes, and a Sovtek 5Y3 rectifier. Cosmetically, this amp retains the original blue checker tolex and silver sparkle grillcloth with a modern leather handle. The cabinet shows some wear on the back panel and corners. On the chrome faceplate, the majority of the original white silkscreen lettering is also intact.
Here’s a 1954 Fender Deluxe 5C3 Wide Panel amplifier in its aged lacquered tweed covering. This is a player-grade vintage Deluxe rather than an untouched collector example, and I want to be very clear about the changes and service history. It has lived a long musical life, has been maintained over the years, and remains a fully functional vintage Fender that can actually be played and enjoyed. The amp is approximately 10 watts through a single 12 speaker and has the focused midrange, compression, and dynamic response that made these early Tweed Deluxes so distinctive. What’s Original / What’s Changed. The cabinet retains its aged lacquered tweed covering, which presents remarkably well for an amplifier more than 70 years old. The original speaker has been replaced with a vintage 1970s Eminence 12 speaker. The original output transformer has also been replaced with a Midwest transformer. The previous owner was told by another knowledgeable vintage-amp enthusiast that its markings may indicate either 1957 or 1967. I have not independently confirmed the exact transformer date, so I’m passing that information along as part of the amp’s history rather than presenting it as established fact. The amplifier has also received normal service over the years, including. Replacement electrolytic capacitors. Some replaced resistors. Grounded three-prong power cord. Replacement leather carrying handle. Pots cleaned and serviced. An aluminum shielding layer is present inside the cabinet. The previous owner investigated this after questions were raised about the cabinet covering and reported finding the earlier insulating material beneath the aluminum. I have left this assembly undisturbed. The amplifier largely follows the Fender 5C3 circuit. I would describe the amp as Very Good vintage condition. The tweed shows the discoloration, wear, and surface character you would expect from an actual 1954 amplifier, but the cabinet presents very nicely overall. This is not being represented as collector-original. The replacement speaker, replacement output transformer, electronic service, power-cord upgrade, and replacement handle are all disclosed above. Most importantly, the amp is functional and ready to be played. I think the best way to look at this one is as a genuine player-grade 1954 Tweed Deluxe: an authentic early Fender that has experienced the repairs and maintenance necessary to keep it working over more than seven decades. 5C3 Wide Panel circuit era. Approximately 10 watts. Lacquered Tweed cabinet. Vintage 1970s Eminence replacement speaker. Midwest replacement output transformer. Three-prong grounded power cord. Replacement leather handle. Made in Fullerton, California, USA. Please look through all of the pictures carefully. With a vintage amp like this, I consider the photographs an important part of the description, especially the chassis, components, transformer, speaker, cabinet, and tweed.
Up for sale, a 1967 Silvertone model 1482 tube amp in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the full original Silvertone-branded tube set. With a 100% original circuit and a modern three-prong power cable, this Silvertone is ready for another 60 years! Manufactured by Danelectro in the USA, this amp is often referred to as the “poor man’s Deluxe” for its rich gain, touch-sensitive responsiveness, and 15 watt 6V6 push/pull tube power section, features which are all very reminiscent of the Tweed-era Fender Deluxe from the late’50s. This amp really does tap into what made Fender’s Tweed amps great, and at about 1/10th the price, the Silvertone 1482 is one of the best bargains on the vintage amp market. With simple controls for Volume and Tone for both the Mic and Instrument inputs, the amp also boasts a powerful bias-based tremolo circuit that has a great pulse and smooth waveform. The preamp is untouched, and the point-to-point, hand-wired circuit boasts the original capacitors, carbon comp resistors, and CTS pots which date to the late weeks of’66. Both of the original transformers are intact, and the amp is stocked with its original pair of Silvertone-branded 6V6 power tubes. A modern three-prong power cable has been installed, and the speaker is the original Fisher 12 alnico magnet driver, featuring a date code on the magnet bell from 1967. The original gray thatched covering is in good shape, with just a couple minor marks and one circular mark on the top of the enclosure. The original wheat grillcloth with sparkle thread is present, and the aluminum faceplate retains all of the original knobs and black silkscreen text.

THESE PICTURES ARE STOCK PHOTOS! Fender’62 Deluxe 1×12 Combo. Known among players as hidden treasures from the early’60s, Fender “brown panel” amplifiers are prized for bridging the gap between the raw sound of its’50s-era tweed-covered amps and the sparkling clean tones of its mid-’60s “black panel” amps, with a distinctive sound all their own. The’62 Deluxe Amp replicates the sound of those originals with its incredibly warm, woody clean tones and mean overdrive when cranked. Combining that with tube-bias tremolo makes it a true desert-island amplifier. Using two 6V6 output tubes to push 20 watts through a custom-designed Celestion® 12 speaker, the’62 Deluxe is the perfect amp for home recording and smaller gigs and an ideal amp for Fender aficionados and collectors everywhere.

Up for sale, a 1954 Gibson GA-20 in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Featuring original two-tone cosmetics, a Jensen P12R speaker, and a professionally serviced circuit, this GA-20 is the perfect mid-size combo from the golden age of tube amplification. In many ways analogous to Fender’s narrow panel tweed amps of the same era, the GA-20 features a four input design with a 6V6 power tube pair, 5Y3GT rectifier, and dual triode (12AX7, etc) tubes in the preamp. Offering distinctly different voicings between the single Microphone input and the three Instrument inputs, the GA-20 is at its most aggressive via the Mic channel. While this input does offer a modicum of clean headroom, it quickly overdrives with a sizzling, chewy sound that’s extremely smooth. The Tone control has an absolutely massive sweep, actually adding a bit more gain when turned up. Maxing out both Volume and Tone knobs yields a ripping, cutting sound that interacts equally well with single coils and humbuckers. The Instrument inputs have more range in the clean signal, with a full-bodied and sweet sound that works well with a host of effects pedals. Turning down the Tone knob on this channel and pushing the Volume can achieve a very nice bark and a spitty quality almost akin to certain fuzz boxes, depending on the guitar being used, and once again diming everything out delivers plenty of richness and roar. The point-to-point circuit has been professionally serviced and thoroughly recapped with premium tubular signal caps in the preamp and F&T power supply caps. The output transformer has been replaced with a vintage-accurate Mercury Magnetics ToneClone GA20-O, mounted to the speaker frame, while the original power transformer is intact, mounted to the back of the chassis. The speaker is the original Jensen P12R alnico magnet driver which has a dark blue/green frame. The speaker has been recently professionally reconed, and the date code on the edge of the frame is from the 9th week of’54. The original two-tone covering exhibits limited wear (particularly when considering the fragility of this material compared to a conventional tolex or tweed), primarily concentrated around the edges, and half of the gold Gibson badge is still intact on the amp’s face. The graphics on the brown faceplate are clean, the brown chickenhead knobs are present, and the leather handle has been replaced.
