1955s Gibson BR-5 Les Paul TV – Tube Amplifier

1955s Gibson BR-5 Les Paul TV – Tube Amplifier

These were the starter amps sold by Gibson back in the 50s. Actually this Les Paul BR-5 amp has the same circuit as the more famous Fender Tweed Champ, which sells for double the money! The amp is in excellent+ condition for its age and all original. The original Rola field-speaker sounds great and distorts easily, especially with a humbucker guitar. Power = 5Watt, …can be really loud!
