Description & Specifications

1949 Gibson GA-50T

We present an original 1949 Gibson GA-50T. Made in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

History

Covered in iconic brown vinyl, it showcases Gibson’s luxurious craftsmanship and was one of the first projects overseen by Ted McCarty, designed by Seth Lover, as Gibson aimed to reclaim its dominance post-WWII.

This large, powerful amp features the original dual Jensen speakers (12” P12 P and 8” P8R ) and offers two channels with four inputs each — instrument and microphone — with shared bass, treble, and tremolo controls.

Condition

Overall this amp is in excellent condition though it shows some minor wear but remains in nicely original condition. The vinyl has minor wear, and most of the “Gibson” logo is worn. The built-in tremolo pedal works perfectly.

This is an excellent, great-sounding example of one of Gibson’s most iconic vintage amps — ideal for jazz players, collectors, or anyone seeking the classic Gibson tone from the 1950s.

Originality

This fantastic GA-50T from 1949 features the original circuit. All transformers are original, and the amp has been recently serviced to ensure it runs perfectly. It also comes with its original footswitch. The leather handle has been replaced with a newer repro.

With two 6L6 tubes, it delivers a clean tone that transitions into warmer distortion when pushed. Produced between 1948 and 1955, the GA-50T is revered for its dark, rich sound.

To keep it as original as possible, you’ll need a step-down transformer if you’re based in Europe. We have these in stock and they can be purchased through Guitar Hunter.

We are more than happy to provide further photos upon request. Simply contact us by email or phone for details, including internal components like the circuit, tubes, transformers and more.
