1951 Fender “Deluxe”
$3,500.00In stock
Original tweed, likely regrilled, replaced transformers, original speaker (a Jensen dated to the fourth week of 1951). So, a great-sounding “TV-front” tweed Deluxe, 5A3 circuit per the tube chart, freshly serviced and ready to grace a stage or studio near you. A pretty straightforward little 1×12” combo, 12 watts or so from a pair of cathode-biased 6V6s, two octal-based preamp tubes, a 6SC7 and a 6SN7, three inputs (two instrument, one microphone) and very simple controls comprising a master tone with integral power switch, and separate volumes for “instrument” and “mic”, all calibrated from 1-12 in classic tweed fashion. Warm and resonant tone, and gets pretty crunchy when cranked. Nice and light, great for small clubs and recording. Handwired in Fullerton, California, USA.
