Yamaha G-5 Guitar Amp 1980s Nippon Gakki Working Spring Reverb Natural Wood

  

Up for sale is a super cool vintage Yamaha G-5 combo guitar amplifier from the late 1970s/early 1980s, made in Japan by Nippon Gakki. These little amps have a cult following for their warm, punchy tone, real spring reverb tank, and master volume that lets you get natural overdrive at bedroom levels.

Often praised as one of the best small solid-state practice amps ever made-some even call it a "mini Mesa" vibe with its angled design and wood cab. Power: 5-7 watts (plenty loud for practice or small jams). Controls: High & Low inputs, Volume, Bass, Treble, Reverb, Master Volume, On/Off switch with power light.

Speaker: Original 6.5 Yamaha (sounds great, no tears or issues). Cabinet: Beautiful natural wood spruce? With tolex grille-very clean overall. Condition details: Everything works as it should-no crackling pots, hum, or reverb problems.

Reverb is nice and splashy. Minor cosmetic wear (light scuffs on tolex/wood from normal use over 40+ years), but looks excellent in person. No major dents, cracks, or repairs visible. Tested: Plugged in, played through with guitar-clean tones, gritty overdrive when pushing Volume/Master, reverb works beautifully. Perfect for home practice, recording, or as a unique vintage collectible.

These don't come up often in this nice condition! What's included: Just the amp (no footswitch, cables, or original box). Well-packed with bubble wrap and sturdy box to protect the wood corners and speaker. International buyers welcome-message for quote. Feel free to ask questions or request more photos!
