Description

One of the unique gems of 50's era amplification, the GA-40 Les Paul was a premium grade amp, built to accompany it's guitar namesake. This one has been through a fair level of wear, but still maintains it's solid vintage character, with no structural issues to speak of. The handle has also been replaced. The circuit has most of the original wax coupling caps replaced, along with a few resistors, and preamp electrolytics. Despite the changed output transformer the sound is still as good as ever.

*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.
