Vintage 65 Fender Vibrochamp Amp


This is a beautiful blackface 1965 Fender Vibrochamp guitar amp. The tolex and grill cloth are in perfect condition. The tubes are all vintage NOS, but some of them are not original. The tremelo sounds great and the amp oozes tones ranging from clean to gritty. At "7" the famous compressed sag occurs just as the 8" speaker starts to break up. This vintage amp is a tone monster! I've had this amp for over ten years and have babied it.

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.
