Description
Vintage 1956 Fender 5F1 Tweed ChampThis Vintage 1956 Fender Champ was going to be one of my "keepers". If you've been following my auctions, you know I have been selling my collection of dozens of Champs. When I decided to sell my collection of 20-30 Tweed Champs, I put a half dozen away to keep. I've now decided to sell a few. It's serial number is C-01460. The Fender code of FD indicates April of '56. This is one of the best sounding ones that I've owned. It also is incredibly clean and original. It has a clear sparkly clean and when you turn up the volume control, it rocks with tremendous low end. All this with the original 6"speaker. The speaker code is 395616, indicating the 16th week of '56. The speaker even has the Fender FD stamped on it showing this speaker was originally mated with this amp. It has been completely gone over by Mark of Victoria Amps and deemed in great working order. It has all the original caps with date codes showing. The Tweed is in great condition with only slight fraying around the seams and corners. It's got on slight mark on the grill. The original handle is still in usable condition. The back panels do appear to be redone. It's got a great vibe, please check the photos. It's easy to see the date codes on the transformers, on the speaker, on the amp. I'm certainly not hiding anything. This is one seriously great sounding, studio quality amp, that's a playable investment. Sure you can spend less, but it would be hard to match the tone. I'd love to keep it, but I'm cleaning house. If you appreciate the best, don't let this one slip past you, it is prime.PayPal only. *********SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY! Sale is final, BUT YOU’LL BE VERY HAPPY! Check my feedback! Thanks, & happy bidding!
