For sale; a tweed Gibson Explorer 18T
from 1959. This is an amazing sounding amp from the sort-after Tweed
era of Gibson amps. As good as a fender at 1/3 of the price. The amp
is silent when idle and a tone monster when played. Excellent
construction, hand-wired, point to point. Tremolo is not working though
it starts for a second and then stops so it is likely an easy fix. The
Gibson tremolos from this era are known to be very lush, IMO far better
than Fender's tremolo. The 10 inch speaker has been upgraded to a
Celestion Greenback (a really good fit for this amp) and the original
speaker is included (though it has several rips in it). Everything is
original expect the logo which I am pretty sure is a reproduction. No
rips in the grill cloth and the tweed covering is in excellent
condition with some rubbing and discolouration. Serviced recently and
there is no buzz, hiss, hum, etc..
$750
