Description Exact Year: 1958 Model: tweed Brand: Fender Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
1958 Fender Champ in great condition!
Bought from a friend many years ago and had it stored in the closet for a few years. I decided to get out and start playing on it and discover the speaker had a tear in the cone and put back until I found another speaker.... a few years later... I realized what a treasure I had and I took it to Slemmons Music to have it looked at. He had the original speaker re-coned and replaced any electrical components it needed. The power cord was upgraded to a grounded cord. The handle was replaced and the back panel cover (it didn't have one). Now after 5-6 years of playing it's fully opened up and sounding like a F51 should. The original parts that were repaired/replaced will be shipped with the amp.
It's ready from another 59 years of playing!
