1960s Gibson Skylark GA-5T Guitar Combo Amplifier - Used

Item ID: ISS20042C

Description

This GA-5T comes to us in excellent condition with minor cosmetic imperfections and was recently serviced in August 2022. The "Death Cap" was removed, the original line chord was replaced with a modern 3 prong, the bypass caps were replaced, and the original speaker was repaired due to 6 small creases found by the upper edge of the cone. A crafty noninvasive external speaker out modification was installed; when this is connected to a extranational speaker it disconnects from the original speaker making this a great option for silent recording or plugging into a much larger cabinet.

This mid '60s Gibson Skylark may only be 5 watts, but it sounds massive when properly mic'd up. This example makes for a fine addition to any recording enthusiast or vintage amplifier collector.

*The Gibson badge has been reglued, a few areas of glue squeeze out can be seen on the logo.
