Vintage Tube Amp

Up for sale, a 1957 Fender Deluxe in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Competitively priced with a new tweed speaker cabinet, original and freshly reconed Jensen P12R speaker, and recently serviced chassis, there are few circuits that are more desired and emulated than the narrow panel Tweed 5E3 Deluxe. This amp delivers everything you’d expect from a classic and well cared for amp from the last iteration of the Tweed line. Incredibly dynamic and harmonically rich, the Deluxe can be glassy and clear at low volumes, but for most players the magic is in this amp’s overdrive capabilities. Especially when connecting the two channels with a small jumper 1/4 cable, the interactive pair of Volume controls can dial in everything from fully saturated roar and snarl, to the particular sweet buzzy qualities with ideal midrange bite that you often times can’t coax out of any other Tweed circuit. This amp reacts well to a host of effects pedals and different guitars, but truly shines with the guitar plugged straight into the amp, using your volume knob to coax clean rhythm tones and singing leads with the twist of a knob. The circuit has been thoroughly maintained, with a professional recap of the main filters, a three-prong power cable, and USA-made transformers courtesy of Classic Tone. The preamp is stocked with early’60s blue Ajax tone caps as well as two newer Alpha pots and one original Stackpole tone pot (with yellow Astron cap) that dates to the 23rd week of 1957. The original Jensen P12R alnico 12″ speaker is present and has the original Jensen “Alnico 5 sticker, dating to the 21st week of 1957 on the edge of the frame. The speaker has the original harness with cloth covered wire and stock 1/4 input as well, and the speaker has been professionally reconed in the amp’s lifetime. The amp features a new tweed speaker cabinet with the original speaker baffle, oxblood grillcloth, and “Fender Deluxe” badge on the face. The chrome on the chassis shows plenty of wear, yet some of the original white silkscreen text is still present and the stock chicken head knobs are also intact. This is an exquisite sounding 5E3 Deluxe that has been recently given a clean bill of health and is ready for your next gig or studio session!
