Description Brand: Gretsch Model: ARTIST 6155 Exact Year: 1955 Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
This is a rare amp to begin with and the condition is near new and extraordinary. It has the unique 'cane tweed' covering seen only for a few years on Gretsch amps. It is just as powerful as a Fender Deluxe of the period. Cabinet is 15" wide. 7 1/2" deep and 14" high. Light wear but no nasty spots at all and no tears. I am only the 2nd owner and it has had pampered treatment in my home. It comes with it's original Artistic canvas cover that is mint. The only change is a longer vintage two prong power cord extension. added to the original.
The 5 tube array is RCA ..6SQ7 6SC7-6V6GT-6V6GT-5Y3GT and it carries the same output power as a Fender Deluxe. The unblemished Rola 10" speaker is heavy duty and easily handles the 12 watt RMS output. This is a rare and gorgeous example. The Rola tone is very wide range and dynamic. This will make a great companion to a high end Gretsch guitar.
