Description

This Gibson GA-20 has held up quite well aesthetically considering its age. This 1951 model has an earlier circuit, with octal preamp tubes and produces a nice, crunchy midrange sound when overdriven. The output transformer has been changed, along with the power cord, electrolytic caps, and some of the wax coupling caps. It has a later 1958 Jensen P12R speaker, which is the same model as what would have come in it originally. The original handle has been changed as well.

*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.
