Description Brand: Fender Model: Deluxe Exact Year: 1967 Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
Vintage 1965-67 Fender Deluxe non-reverb AB763 in nice condition.Chassis number dates as 65 but speaker code and ink stamp inside chassis indicate 67, so who knows for sure? Selling because I was about ten years old when this amp was built and my gigging days are long gone. I am not the original owner but have owned it for more than 25 years (non-smoker). It has all vintage tubes of the best brands that were recently tested and all are strong (RCA and Telefunken for power and signal path, vintage Mullard rectifier) . The only exception is the Sovtek used for the vibrato (not in signal path). The power transformer was replaced years ago with a genuine Fender Deluxe Reverb reissue item, which if I remember correctly required that the hole in the chassis was enlarged somewhat to accomodate it. Also has replacement plywood speaker baffle and vintage style grill cloth done about 20 years ago. Mods include Aspen Pittman's tone warming which replaces the ceramic caps in the tone stacks with poly and silver mica, also has "pull for bright" treble pots on both channels (original pots will be sent as well), has Sprague Atom power caps, eleven foot long three prong power cord. Also has a "bias pan" mod that allows for power tubes with dissimilar bias points to be used together with full sonic integrity. Has "flyback" protection diodes on power tubes and A/C line in has MOV surge protection added. The mods were done about 20 years ago. This particular amp sounds about as good as it gets for a Deluxe imo. Back when I gigged it at events with multiple bands the other guitar players almost always came up to tell me how fantastic this amp sounded. If vintage Fender tone is your thing you definitely don't want to miss out on this one, its a true sonic gem! Purchase with confidence from 100% feedback since 2001 EBAYer.
