Description

This 5C3 Deluxe has gone through various changes, and has only retained a fraction of its original state. The chassis pan, power transformer, baffle board and grillcloth are all original. The cabinet/tweed, along with the speaker, and output transformer have all been replaced. Other than the pots, most of the components have been replaced as well, swapped for modern equivalents. Despite the changes it still maintains the stock 5C3 Fender circuit, and sounds excellent.

The metal on the control plate is heavily worn, but you can still faintly see the names for everything. Judging by the wear on that portion we assume the rest of the cabinet has been replaced due to taking on heavy wear.

*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.
