Hello everyone,
Can anyone help identify this amplifier please?
It's from the 1960s and is allegedly a Gibson.
Much appreciated!!

the backside is always the best view :icon_biggrin:

Haha nice one
It's not mine...its from the CD insert from a war on drugs album.
The lead singer says it's from the 60s and it's a Gibson.

the closest match I could find is a G20 SS amp, how can you fight the war on drugs with a SS amp :think1:
