1954 Fender 5D3 Tweed Deluxe Wide Panel

A good Tele sounds like a dream through this beauty...
 
The Deluxe is one of Fender's most iconic amps. Deluxes of all varieties can be heard on countless records and so many famous players have turned to Deluxe for their rich yet volume friendly sound.  
 
The early years of the Deluxe models were some really good years. The main characteristic of these amps is great overdrive and compression. They can have really nice cleans too but most players get them for their dynamic and harmonically rich, fat overdrive.
 
This babe, wired in December 1954 by Fender employee "Julia", got its serial number in December '54 as well en left the factory shortly after. It has the sweetest vintage Fender Tweed tube tone you can imagine... Super silent at idle, crystal clear cleans with rings and bells, super nice breakup at halfway the volume into a roaring Neil Young beast of a tone!! It's fat, crunchy, and just plain cool... 
 
It is in pretty original condition and freshly serviced by our amp tech. 
 
This baby still has the original Jensen P12R 12inch Alnico speaker dated 220446 week 46 1954 with an old recone, original transformers, chassis, cabinet, baffle, ripped grillcloth, most capacitors, resistors, tweed etc. The handle is replaced as is one volume pot, a grounded power cord and the electrolytic capacitors.
 
A great deal on an amazing and legendary amp.
