Vintage 1959 Gibson Tweed Explorer GA18T USA 1x12 Amplifier Combo *1950s*

You won't want to miss out on this one. It's a seriously cool piece of vintage amp history, this 1959 Gibson GA18T comes with a great provenance, having previously belonged to Diccon Hubbard of The Salford Jets, who purchased it from A1 Music back in the 1990s. This one has all the character you'd hope to find in a late-'50s Gibson, yet retaining the originality throughout. The cabinet wears its years proudly, with plenty of honest wear and tear that only comes from decades of making music. No relic job here, just the real thing. It has the original 1959 dated Jensen P10R speaker, original 1959 dated transformers, and an extra rare Marshall-style Radiospares step transformer mounted in the rear, allowing the amp to be run safely on UK voltage without modifying the amp itself. I've had this recently serviced to a high standard, and it's now ready to go. Grab some wonderful vintage Gibson tones with bags of character. Please see the pictures below as these form part of my description.
