1957 Fender Champ Amp Tweed 5F1 – Narrow Panel
We present an original 1957 Fender Champ Tweed 5F1 – Narrow Panel. Made in Fullerton, California.
This vintage Champ features its original lacquered tweed and the legendary 5F1 circuit. It doesn’t get much purer than the Champ, and this studio favorite delivers incredibly dynamic and glassy tube tone that goes from clean to fully saturated overdrive with a simple twist of the single volume knob. The amp has a newer leather handle and tubes. The 1957 Champ has been well cared for over the years and was recently serviced with new capacitors, resistors, and a 3-prong power cord to ensure perfect operation.
The original 6″ speaker was no longer functional, so we replaced it with a brand new 6″ Jensen speaker. Both transformers are original. Cosmetically, the original lacquered tweed is in very clean condition. Overall, the tweed covering looks particularly good, complete with the original nailed-in feet.
It even comes with its original cover, which is a rare find.
To keep it as original as possible, a step-down transformer is required. We have these in stock and they can be purchased through Guitar Hunter.
