Gibson GA 19 RVT Falcon with Anti "Tone Suck" Mod 1963 Vintage Guitar Amp

No Sales Tax For Customers Outside Of California.

These 1960s Gibson Falcon GA 19RVT amps can really deliver with a little work.  The secret is out.  

Formerly considered the ugly duckling of Gibson amp history, it is now known that these amps can really roar if they are modded slightly from original spec.  Gibson introduced changes to the amp in this era to try to get it to offer a louder clean tone.  This is understandable I suppose, as their guitars are typically humbucker loaded and tend to hit an amp harder.  

However, with simple and reversible work, the amp opens up and reverts to more of a 50s Fender Deluxe tone, but with reverb and tremolo!

This amp has original transformers and the original speaker.  I replaced electrolytic caps and added a grounded power cable.  We tested all the tubes, cleaned the pots and tube sockets too.  

This amp is ready to roll!

Shipping policy:

When you purchase this item you are hereby agreeing to this shipping policy. We remove tubes from amps that could be damaged in shipping.  These cases result in multiple box shipments, and they require the buyer to do some assembly on delivery.  We do this because we have experienced shipping issues in the past, and this is our prevention measure.  Vintage amps are sold as-is because they can need service intermittently.  Everything is tested here in our shop on the way into our inventory, and again before shipping.  We will cover shipping damage, but we cannot be responsible for the failure of vintage components in 20-to-50-plus year old amps. Shipments will require signature on delivery, no exceptions.  If there is damage, the buyer must retain all packing materials intact and picture them immediately and send them to sales@maharsvintageguitars.com.  Less than 1% of our shipments are damaged in transit, and we are committed to making sure your item arrives safely, but we are taking these additional measures to make sure you are happy with your purchase.
