1956 FENDER DELUXE TWEED 5E3
1956 Fender Deluxe Tweed 5E3 in good condition. It's been fully serviced by my amp tech and comes with a 3 month warranty. During the service my technician noted that the amp is all original with the exception of the preamp tubes, the speaker and a fitted auto-transfer. (this has been bolted to the bottom of the cabinet and means you don't have to rely on an external step down transformer to convert UK/EU power to 110v) From this transformer you can simply attach a kettle lead and plug straight into a UK/EU wall socket.
The grill cloth is clean and free from tears. The tweed shows quite a lot of wear around the edges but is original to the amp and I think makes it look really cool. The speaker has been changed for a 1960 Jenson, speaker code 220009. Tube chart code FI ( Sept 1956) original circuitry, transformers and pots. Cool amp with a fantastic tone. You can really make this amp roar. It's 15 watts and has a 12" speaker. Features: 3 control knobs, four inputs, two channels, narrow panal front
The Fender Deluxe dates back as far as 1946 when it was known as the Model 26. Like most Fender amps, the Deluxe evolved cosmetically throughout the '50s, changing from the wide to narrow panal cabinet by 1955. The Deluxe was eventually supplanted by the Deluxe Reverb starting in 1963. In this phase, the model designation was 5E3.
