Hi there! I’ve come across an add for a 1961 Gibson GA-5. I’m not sure that is really the year, as the other GA-5’s I’ve seen from 1961 have a thinner front (not like the TV models of the LES PAUL Jr Amps that preceded the GA-5 from 1954-1956). Did Gibson make GA-5 amps that looked like this in 1961? I was looking on Reverb.com and saw a couple of GA-5’s that looked like the one I saw in the ad and one said it was a 1957, the other said it was a 1958. I read somewhere that they changed the design in 1958, so could this be from 1958? I am planning to go over and check it out in the next day or two and will see if I can find any date codes stamped on the transformers or pots, but just curious if anyone knew offhand what year or years this may have been made. Thanks so much! Gibson GA-5 1957 https://reverb.com/item/15629219-gibson-ga-5-1957?utm_source=ios-app&utm_medium=share
