For sale is an extremely rare 1st addition 1955 Fender Amp. This amp was made in honor of Leo Fenders friend Forrest White. I added a little bit of history below the main description. Production on these amps began in October 1955. The pots are dated the 41st week of 1955 which is October 1955. The serial numbers started at AS00001. This one is marked AS00014, making it the 14th one made. As you can see, it has not been cleaned, and is exactly as I found it. The exterior is nicer then most I have seen online. The inside is very dusty and crusty!! I think the whole thing would probably clean up pretty good!! It has three tubes, one 6V6GT, one 5Y3GT, and one 12AX7. From what I have read this is similar to the Princeton Tweed. I broke the original fuse while checking it as the amp did not work. I then noticed that the cord had a bad spot about 2 feet from the end. I put a new fuse in and taped the cord, and the tubes and red light both lit up. There is no sound, so a repair man will have to look at it. I did not attempt this as is it has an Asbestos heat shield connected to the back panel. To be honest Asbestos freaks me out!! By the way, I put the original fuse back in, so it will still need a new one. I was told it was most likely the filter caps, but that was only a guess. This is a non working project amp, so ask all questions! The amp is sealed up, and I will not be taking more pictures. Remember asbestos freaks me out. Thank you, and good luck!! On May 20, 1954, Forrest White joined Leo Fender and his burgeoning. Fender Electric Instrument Company. In Fullerton, California, as General Manager. In early 1955, an employee came into building #3 at the Fullerton factory and asked Forrest. What he wanted to do with the white nameplates that just arrived. He told the messenger to. Send them back because. Nameplates only came in brown or chrome. The brave messenger came back with, No, you dont understand; they are White. The employee proceeded to show Forrest the nameplates with his own name boldly inscribed. It would soon grace a studio amplifier model that Leo was developing for the new. Leo surprised Forrest that day; even as General Manager, White had no idea what Mr. Fender was up to, and that his boss had named this new line after him. Was born soon after the nameplate incident. Forrest White (photo) wrote that they received the first. Sales order, #402, for the new studio linea. White Amp Model 80. And a 6-String Lap. Steelon September 13, 1955. The units were constructed in October and November. Student standard guitar, but never. Put it into production. Fender: The Sound heard Round the World.
