Description

Vintage National GA960P two-channel solid-state guitar amplifier head with matching 2x12 speaker cabinet, featuring distinctive black diamond-quilted covering, classic National styling, and what appear to be the original Japanese-made speakers.

This is an uncommon vintage amplifier setup with a great retro appearance. The head features independent volume and tone controls for each channel, built-in reverb and tremolo controls, and high- and low-power instrument inputs.

Amplifier Features

• National GA960P FET transistor solid-state amplifier head

Matching 2x12 Speaker Cabinet

The accompanying cabinet contains two matching Japanese-made EAS-30P13SR 12-inch speakers, each marked 8 ohms and 30 watts maximum.

Both speakers share the same model markings, construction, and period-correct appearance. The mounting hardware, wiring, and general condition suggest they are factory-original, although this has not been independently verified against National factory documentation.

Photographs of the cabinet interior and speaker markings are included.
