Fender / Champ (5F1) / 1959 / Tweed / Amp
|
We are happy to offer you a very special deal: an original 1959 Champ in great condition, sounding like a true monster.
The amp appears to have been recovered with tweed many, many years ago (which explains our price). It is a world-class job (probably done by Fender), and you would probably never know if I didn't tell you.
The circuit is entirely original (except for the electrolytics, for safety reasons). Transformers are original, and chassis & volume pot are dated late 1959. The speaker is a Jensen Alnico from 1963, and it sounds wonderful.
Requires 110V for operation.
It has a very special sound, so vintage... super sweet & warm cleans at low volumes, and such a tone monster when cranked. True tone bliss with humbuckers.
Great chance to own a Layla amp. Awesome looks and sound. Definitely a killer tool for the recording musician, too.
Guitar Giraffe, Spain 
In the last few years, online sale for musical instruments has experienced an amazing growth, but has passed right through the pre-owned market (that is, in Spain), limiting it to specialised forums and private owners. This is why Guitar Giraffe was born, the first physical and online second hand guitar and amp store (we like to call it "pre-owned", since we see a big difference between both terms), with a clear commitment of giving new options to guitarists locally and worldwide. Pre-owned guitar stores, so common in UK and USA, were practically nonexistent in Spain. We’ve wanted to fill that empty space by becoming the first physical and online store in our country focused on pre-owned guitars and amps.
