1956 Fender 5E8-A Twin Tweed

Important notes: the fabled Tweed Twin... we are pleased to present this beautiful 5E8-A Fender Tweed Twin from 1956. We love our Tweeds (see last photo) and this is a great sounding example! The amp is all original save for 1) very professional retweed 2) power transformer replacement 3) 2 small plugged holes in the chassis and repro handle. The amp has been fully serviced with a recap and a 3-prong power cable. The original speakers have been repainted during the retweed process but the areas with the original date codes and part numbers remain untouched.

Details:

• - Date(s): late 1956 (pots dated 45th week of 1956, speakers dated 3rd week of 1956, SN 00524)
• - Finish: professionally retweeded (one the most convincing jobs we have seen)
• - Hardware: Original save for repro handle and 2 small plugged holes in the chassis!
• - Electronics: Original save for power transformer, recap and 3-prong!
• - Included: holy grail narrow-panel Fender Tweed Twin tone!
