Offered for sale:

Vintage c1954/55 Gretsch 6155 Electromatic Artist tube combo amp serial number X51089.

This amplifier is in fair condition, fully functional, the power cord has been upgraded to a 3-prong grounded cable.

Cosmetically showing scuffs, marks and wear, the handle has been replaced and this amp is abounding in patina. It also abounds in ‘50s tube tone.

Featuring volume, tone and tremolo speed controls, a 10” Rola field coil speaker and 10-12 watts of power. The tremolo is strong and goes nice and slow.

The 6155 features a tone typical of the era, with a clean tone and a thick, midrange-focused overdrive when pushed. Sounds fantastic.

*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
