In this video we will closely examine an extremely nice, original Gibson GA-5T Skylark inside and out. Then we will trace the entire schematic, correlating it with the actual circuit, to assist those who are trying to learn how to read schematics. Next, we will make several basic alterations to the circuit to improve the tone of the amp. Finally we will hear the amp as it sounds, both before and after the circuit modifications.
Extra features include the unpacking (and cat scanning) of a big surprise package from a viewer, and another trip to the big hot rod show at the War Eagles Air Museum in Santa Teresa, NM.
