1958 Fender High Powered Twin Tweed. Super clean. I acquired it from a collection and it has been in mine. The person I acquired it from purchased it from the original owner. This has withstood time in a wonderful condition. BUT it also is a freaking WOW amp. Notes just sustain and bloom like nothing I’ve experienced. I
This is NOT like every other one you see…where all the bad crap is hidden in block paragraphs…followed by “great sounding”. This has a only couple of things to mention and we will mention them up front.
- Speakers reconed a year ago by Neal’s Speaker Repair. I A/B’d the recones against a vintage set and could not tell the difference. The only reason these were reconed was the cones were damaged in shipping when I purchased the amp.
- Not certain if the rectifier tube is original or not. It is labeled Amperex. One preamp tube appears changed and original included. Other tubes appear original.
- 3-Way power cable added by my tech (Cage Audio). Original Included.
- Couple of caps changed.
So that means the hande, tweed, trannies, grille, lettering….ALL ORIGINAL.
Couple of other things:
- It comes with the ORIGINAL COVER
- I plan to ship it in a custom flight case unless you prefer something else.
- Sorry no sound samples, videos, demos, weighing, measuring, photographing in pre-dawn light or testing for radiation.
- Sale is as-is unless it arrives smashed up. That means…I don’t want to enter into your coveted post-purchase renegotiation because you believe X tube might not be original and your tech says the amp requires blah blah blaqh blah…if that’s your game…buy someone else’s.
The amp is wonderful. There is a reason so many people hoard these. I just find I don’t play it and it belongs with someone who will cherish and use it.
If you offer a trade: Make me a firm offer…no archtops, no broken/repaired stuff, no PRS, no illiquid crap you want to turn into A-grade collector quality gear. Make it quality and I will respond. No returns. No trials. No approval periods.
