The 5E3 Deluxe is the quintessential embodiment of the Tweed era Fender tone. Many builders have tried to recreate this design over the years, but none truly capture the magic like the original Triad transformers. The speaker (a 1951 P12Q) is an earlier version of what would have been stock, maintaining the amp’s authentic vintage character. This amp has been serviced for modern use, with a replaced power cord, electrolytic caps, and 3 changed coupling caps. All of the original carbon comp resistors are still present. While not pristine, the original tweed covering has held up well.
