The White brand is a unique Fender offshoot named after the (Fender) General Manager in 1954, Forrest White. The amp design is identical to the 5F2-A Princeton amp, and even features its own Model 80 hand drawn schematic, under the "White Instrument Co" brand. The lap steel is the White equivalent of a Fender Champion.

Both pieces look to be in excellent condition, and are all original outside of a couple of small changes. The tuner buttons on the lap steel have been changed, though it is original otherwise. The amp had the speaker bolts clipped, with a speaker mounted by screws from the back instead. This, along with a changed handle are the only things different from stock.

*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.
