This is one of the rare old Gibson amps - this is the EH-160, the AC or DC version of the classic EH-150 (you know, back when you might have a gig where there is no electricity). The EH-150s are getting hard to find, and I've never seen a 150 (or 160) in such great shape.

Not only is this model rare, this one is in NEAR-MINT state, especially inside (look at the photos). Original tubes, wiring, and the face plate and chassis look brand new. Works perfectly, NO HUM! Serial # 7692.

This was purchased from the estate of J. Geils, so it's probably got some stories to tell (aside from just sounding amazing).

I don't really want to sell this, but I'm downsizing a lot, so the price is pretty firm. Cash and serious inquiries only.

NO SHIPPING - it's an antique, rare, and in almost perfect condition. But, I'd be willing to meet anyone in the general area.
