DIRTY BLUES GUITAR TONE DEMO - Gibson GA20 & Kent Americana

Here's a demo of both my 1953 Gibson GA20 112 tube combo amplifier and my 1964 Kent Guyatone Americana Model 551 Hollowbody guitar. Together, these two get a gritty, raunchy blues tone.
The amp is all original with the original Jensen speaker. The Guyatone has been rewired and knobs were changed, but is otherwise original.

Great guitar work

[@davidfriesen7748]

That's Wild. I just bought a 1967 Kent similar to yours and/or the same. All electronics were done, just needs Neck work, I believe minor, questionable with that 0 Fret ?? Learning curve and lovin' it !

Very nice sound dude, very nice. Just love the dirty blues distorted tone

[@TheGuitologist]

+Gustavo Ribeiro Thanks for watching! I agree, I like the dirty tones you can get out of some of this stuff.

[@martysquire1054]

man Brad! You can play some of the best most authentic blues I ever heard from the modern era. I'm bored of Bonomassa's cascading gain and claptons safe distorted stuff. I've got that amp, now I gotta get that guitar!

[@TheGuitologist]

I have a 3-pickup version of that guitar if you're interested. I'd have to finish working on it.

[@martysquire1054]

@@TheGuitologist well hell! Wasn't expecting that! I'd be very interested, but there's no pressure if you have some work to do on it. Should I send off an email when I get home and you can give me some details etc?

[@kevinwilkins9926]

I have been binge watching your vids today lol..Man, you really need to be on stage for the world to hear you. You are a fantastic player man. You could make anything sound like a million bucks.

[@johnnyguerrero4615]

Another cool amp, I dig it.

[@TheGuitologist]

Johnny Guerrero I agree. Love the breakup on these GA20s.

[@jessehernandez3688]

Awesome amp

[@EzriHielmiCheDaud]

Beautiful, just beautiful

[@roscoefoofoo]

Great playing, once again. Thanks!

[@maxhoe]

Bought this exact model at a local pawnshop years ago, ended up having to sell it to pay rent like a dummy. Sure do miss it very much

[@yanbili390]

Just got a guitar of those and got surprised how easily ir fuckin feedbacks it's so cool idk if it's a hollowbody thing i hadnt played a hollowbody before but definately a keeper

[@jessehernandez3688]

I have one too with original cover

[@DeanJHarris]

Do you still own this? Picked up one with its original cover at a peddlers mall yesterday. Looks like the same one

[@MrMartinliljegren]

Hello. I have exactly the same guitar at home. I just took the string of and realized I need to redo the frets. Do you have any tips regarding that. I have no experience on this but they were worn down flat. Thanks

[@bishlap]

I swear, I think I mentioned Hound Dog Taylor a few days ago in another of your vid's.... Mandella effect?

[@TheGuitologist]

You did.

[@bishlap]

cool, great minds think alike .

[@esticaandres3169]

[@user-gb8fl3lt2n]

Do you have a any recorded stuff of your blues with this on a cd?
