Description

This 1953 GA-20 model features an earlier circuit with octal preamp tubes, delivering a rich, crunchy midrange sound when overdriven. The power cord and electrolytic caps have been replaced, along with a couple of power resistors. The original wax coupling caps have also been replaced. It has a newer Mojotone Transformer installed, which does great justice to preserving the sound of the original. Condition wise it looks very good, with some tape residue and a couple small tears on the edges, which can be considered moderate wear from being transported over the years.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
