1956 Fender Champ Tweed 5F1 – Narrow Panel
We present an original 1956 Fender Champ Tweed 5F1 – Narrow Panel. Made in Fullerton, California.
This beauty is simple, elegant, and clean enough to satisfy both collectors and serious players. This is the early version with a 6″ speaker.
This vintage Fender Champ features its original lacquered tweed covering and the legendary 5F1 circuit. It doesn’t get much purer than the Champ — this studio favourite delivers remarkably dynamic and glassy tube tone, shifting seamlessly from clean to fully saturated overdrive with a twist of the single volume knob. The Champ has been well cared for over the decades and still houses the original 6″ speaker, which has just been professionally reconed. The circuit has also been freshly serviced with new capacitors and resistors to ensure optimal performance. Both transformers are original.
Cosmetically, the original lacquered tweed is in excellent condition. The tweed has aged beautifully and evenly, with original nailed-in feet and even the original leather handle still intact.
To operate it in your region and keep it as original as possible, you will need a step-down transformer. We have these in stock and they can be purchased through Guitar Hunter.
