This amplifier is completely original and unmodified, down to the tubes, speaker, transformers, wiring, tweed covering, and hardware.

This amp is in excellent vintage cosmetic condition for its age, showing natural wear and patina consistent with nearly 90 years of careful aging. It powers on and functions, but we have intentionally left it unserviced to preserve its collector value. For safety, this amp should not be used without professional service and grounding.
This is a historically important amplifier, highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of early electric instruments. The Gibson EH-150 was one of the very first commercially successful amplifiers and helped define the early sound of the electric guitar era. Examples in this unaltered condition are extremely rare.
