Nice Gibson Falcon, dates to 1963 era, reverb and tremelo work great all tube chassis . Original Jensen speaker, foot switch, about 15 watts, a poor mans Fender Deluxe Reverb. Plastic on the handle is a little lose, other than that it's all original and sounds and plays great. $395.00 plus shipping, Pay Pal accepted.E-mail me at ..lucybobkat@yahoo.com.

Hey, bump for a sweet amp!! I have one (not as well preserved) that just kills with an overdrive in front of it. Circuit is THE ONE to have if you are looking for a cool Gibson 1-12. Made by Thomas Organ, I have a schematic. No other Falcon has this circuit. A fair price to boot!
Hope you don't mind my lavishing of praise on your sale item

Hi Bob,
Don't know if I would compare this amp to a Deluxe Reverb, but it sure does have it's own tone in spades !!.....Just a word of caution when you ship this amp...The baffle board is not all that thick, and make sure you tape that footswitch into the bracket when you are shipping it .....Ask me how I know !!!...LOL !!.....
A guy sent me a Falcon and when I recieved it , the Fed Ex demolition squad broght the amp to my house and when I shook the box , there was a lot of things floating around inside of it ....Hoping that the damage would be repairable , I signed for the amp ...The Speaker was RIPPED out of the baffle, the footswitch was lodged in the speaker cone, and the transformers were hanging out of the chassis , and if that were not enough , the corner of the cabinet was split open !!.....These guys had to REALLY try to demolish this amp, and they did a good job of it ....Pack this thing like it's your first born in the box !!!.... They are such a wonderful sounding amp when they are all in one piece ( I got another one later) ....Good Luck with ths sale ....You have it priced very well !!....GREAT AMP !!....Jim |

| Hi Bob, yeah.... pack her up like crazy. If you have packing peanuts, maybe put them in plastic grocery bags and cram some into the back of the amp for support? Double box, whatever it takes. The previous post scares me. Ahhhh. |
