Description

The 5E3 Deluxe perfectly exemplifies the Tweed Fender sound. An entire generation of builders have tried to replicate this design, but nothing quite captures the essence like the original Triad transformers. The speaker (1953 P12R) is an older version of what would have come stock, still making it era-appropriate. This amp has been serviced for modern use, with a replaced power cord, electrolytic caps, and Astron coupling caps. The original parts are included for the sake of continuity.

While not pristine, the original tweed covering has held up exceptionally well. This is a great buy for those seeking a less worn-looking piece!

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
