This 5E3 narrow panel Deluxe has that rugged worn tweed look, wearing the badge of miles traveled and stories yet to be told. Generally speaking when they look this way the sound lives up to the appearance, and this one doesn't disappoint - it has a distinct tweed roar, possibly driven by a changed blackface era Deluxe output transformer. Internally it's had the power cord replaced, along with the handle, and the filter caps (rehoused in original shells). In the preamp circuit it's only had one coupling cap changed, but the amp is otherwise original.

*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.
