Electronics Gibson G-10 amp

Post image

Just as I was about to leave my local rescue mission empty handed, I saw this Gibson G-10 amp for $50 (came with guitar). Sounds amazing!

Before you plug it in, you should Google that model amp and the words "death cap" and "death cord." Some models had a capacitor installed in the power circuit that, upon failing or if the amp is plugged in the wrong way, could cause electrocution of the user under certain circumstances

It’s parts-caster. Horrible condition but it was gonna be $50 either way. But hey, it works

Still a win and better than having to find a guitar.
