Fender / Tweed Deluxe 5E3 Narrow Panel / 1960 / Amp
SOLD
Legendary and sought-after 1960/61 Fender Tweed Deluxe 5E3 Narrow Panel combo amplifier for sale.
Very hard to find an original 5E3 narrow panel in this condition here in the EU.
The circuit looks great - transformers are original, and the original 1×12 Jensen speaker P12R sounds fantastic. The speaker has had a re-cone.
A new prong cord and the leather handle have been changed. In addition, a few tubes, cabs, and resistance has been changed to make it run perfectly.
To keep it as original as possible - a stepdown transformer is included so it can run 230volt. The original tweed covering and cabinet is in fantastic shape for its age.
The amp is fully serviced by Danish amp tech, Lars Vad, and is ready to be played.
Offers around the listed price are welcome.
The price does not include shipping and insurance. Please inquire for a shipping quote to your destination.

The Fender Deluxe Tweed is a guitar amplifier produced by Fender in the 1950s. It is considered one of Fender's most iconic and sought-after vintage amplifiers.
The Deluxe Tweed is a 15-watt amp with one 6V6 power tube and three 12AX7 preamp tubes. It has a single 12" Jensen Alnico speaker and features a single-channel preamp, a volume control, and a tone control. The tweed covering gives it a classic and vintage look.
The Fender Deluxe Tweed is known for its warm, round, and smooth tone, which is characterized by natural compression and a rich overdrive. The amp is known for its clarity, definition, and responsiveness. It is considered a versatile amp suitable for a wide range of music genres, especially blues, country, and rock and roll.
Like the Princeton and Vibrolux, the Fender Deluxe Tweed is highly valued by collectors and guitar players alike, but it is a bit more rare and harder to find than the other two models. And it's less powerful than the other two.
