The Gibson Gibsonette was an early model for Gibson and seems to have had several iterations and name changes. The core circuit is the GA-8 with a 5Y3GT rectifier, a ECC83 pre-amp valve and then two 6V6s working in parallel class A which you don’t see a lot.

The whole circuit was taken apart and built up again, lots of new parts needed but the core of the amp - the transformers, the pots, the speaker are all original. The valves are unlikely to be original but they were old.

Really enjoyed this one as I haven’t had an old Gibson amp before. Did it sound good? well…it definitely went into overdrive nicely but I think I’d replace that original speaker for something a bit clearer or maybe an EQ pedal to just even things out a little.
