Gibson GA15 clone

[greg150]

Does anyone know of someone who makes a clone of the Gibson GA15?
It had fantastic clean tone.

Sure, we all do! Piece of cake. Need an amp built? Where are you?

I'm in northern California.
Please tell me about it. Is it going to be an exact clone of the Gibson GA15? I'm interested in a head only. Do you make the cab too, or just the chassis?
How much?

Which one?
GA15 Goldtone, (relatively new, by Trace Elliot, England) 2-12AX7, 2-EL84
GA15 c. 1954-1961, 12AX7, 6SL7, 2-6V6, 5Y3
GA15-RV, c. 1961, 3-6EU7, 12AU7, 2-6V6, 5Y3
GA15-RVT Explorer, c. 1965-66, 2-6EU7, 12AU7, 2-6BQ5 (EL84)

I didn't realize there were so many. I bought a Gibson Goldtone GA15RV about 10 years ago. That's the one I'm looking for - with or without reverb (depends on the price).

So, do you care if it looks the same? Or are you mostly interested in replicating the amp for it's tone? These things will affect what you pay. Flexibility with the cosmetics might help to control the cost. I'm thinking, since you want a head (original format is a combo), you might not be so particular about the cosmetics.

For the record, I'm not looking to do this build. I could, but it's just a hobby for me and I don't.

[greg150]

I don't want it to look the same. I really didn't care for the looks, only the tone.

I want just a head cab with either coco or black tolex. Aged white chicken head knobs. And that's about it, I think. Pretty simple.

If anyone is interested in building this amp for me, please send me an email or PM.

Thanks!
Greg
