I have for you a Circa 1972 Gibson ES 345 Stereo Guitar and Rare Tweed Gibson 1962 Tweed RVT 79 Stereo Amp.Let me start by saying - THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING SOUNDING guitar and amp combination. The only thing I would compare it to is a vintage guitar through a leslie, phaser and echoplex. There must be dozens of combinations with the ES 345 stereo guitar and this stereo amp. I am hooked but I am getting old and need to sell some gear as much as I love it. 
I will start with guitar, I have owned since the 80's. It is all original except serial # was effaced at one time and has been restored with 70 - 72 Gibson serial #.
Original frets and gold plated parts. This has the original "Gibson Logo" embossed 'T' top pickups that were only offered from 1970 - 72 by gibson.
 
Viceroy or "Ice Tea" Sunburst, no cracks breaks or repairs, there are some tiny dents on back of neck that don't break through paint and minor wear over all showing mostly on gold hardware.This has some of the most figured maple top and back I seldom see. Beautiful Guitar over all with great feeling neck.  Comes with original Gibson Purple lined padded case.Then it's mate, Gibson RVT 79 Stereo Amp.There are so many variations in tones you can get with 6 setting on guitar with 3 Way Switch and True Stereo Amp.These were made in limited numbers and the Tweed - for one year only.
 Aspen Pitman in the groove tubes book, listed the Gibson RVT 79 in his top ten of favorite amps. See-  guitaracquistionsyndrome  link for more details.  
 
These amps are true stereo featuring two separate 15 watt amplifiers Stereo each side and 30 Watts Mono. Channel one, offers lush reverb and swampy tremolo, the second channel alone, no effects, however when switched to Mono plugged into channel one,  you get effects out of both speakers at 30 Watts, this is how they were made.  
You can find various links to this amp and it’s specs. It has two ten inch C10Q Jensen speakers. It sounds awesome good and breaks up with just right amount of distortion when cranked. You can switch it from mono to stereo for total of about 30 watts output. It comes with original two button footswitch.  
As you can see it has some small tears, dings, cigarette burns, stains and some of the lettering on the chassis is faint or missing, two of the stacked knobs have the tops replaced. I have had the pots cleaned and connections. It works and sounds wonderful. Because this is a vintage amp, it may or may not need servicing when you get it. I has been serviced in the past. Disregard ebay shipping chart, I will email you total before you pay for completed auction.Shipping for lower 48 states USA is $250. This guitar and amp is also on 'Reverb' and subject to sale elsewhere. Keep in mind, there are no guarantees and it is sold as is, No Returns.
