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.
EICO HF-89 stereo tube amplifier – Complete bench test and serviced. This amplifier includes everything as shown including all tubes, Wireworld power cord, speaker wire adaptors, and even a bottom plate not shown in photos. Note that all capacitors and resistors were replaced as needed by a qualified technician. Also note that RCA inputs were added. In my opinion this updated vintage factory built amplifier betters most attempts to copy vintage gear and by far betters Chinese attempts.

Up for sale, a 1953 Gibson BR-6 vintage tube amp in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Freshly serviced by our techs here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, this BR-6 is the three-input version as redesigned by Gibson in 1948, and one of the first examples to shift the chassis from mounting to the bottom of the cabinet to the top. Loaded with a vintage (replacement) CTS alnico magnet 10 speaker, the tone is warm and fairly dark in its voicing from 1-5 on the single Volume dial, gaining grit and overdriven roar pushing towards 10. The amp really shines when dimed out with the midrange character unique to octal preamp amps and a real gutsy, punchy sound that’s thick and saturated. The point-to-point circuit features the stock IRC pot and power transformer manufactured by Magnetic Components Co, with a date code from the 25th week of’53, while the original output transformer is mounted to the speaker frame. New premium capacitors are manufactured by Sprague, while much of the original circuitry, including two of the famed Grey Tiger capacitors, is present. The vintage replacement speaker was manufactured by CTS, with a date stamp on the magnet from the 30th week of’70. The amp retains its original smooth brown covering, made from the same material used on early’50s Gibson guitar cases. The enclosure shows relatively restrained wear considering its vintage, and the wicker grillcloth is very well-kept. The large “G” gold badge is intact central to the grill, with the small silkscreened Gibson logo in the upper right corner of the amp’s face. The control plate has clean silkscreened graphics, and the one brown chicken head knob is intact. The leather handle is a modern replacement.
