66 Gibson Skylark GA-5T Guitar Amplifier


This is a 1966 Gibson GA-5T Skylark guitar amp. The tolex and grill cloth are in perfect shape, but the faceplate is scratched and the leather handle has a partial tear. This amp sounds amazing and is a great recording amp for guitar or harp. The tremelo works well and is more subdued than the tremelo found on Fender guitar amps. The 5 watts driving the 10" speaker gives it a slightly fatter sound than the blackface Fender Champs.

94 Flatiron 3MB Mandolin


This Flatiron mandolin has a flat spruce top with birdseye maple back, birdeyse maple sides, and a 3-piece mahogany neck. The bridge and fretboard are ebony with pearl dot inlays. The half-herringbone top purfling, herringbone soundhole rosette, and clamshell tailpiece really make this mandolin stand out. This was hand built in Montana during the Weber era of Gibson's control of the Flatiron factory. This is one of the loudest and sweetest sounding A-style mandolins you will hear.
