WORKING CONDITION: Very Good. This amp sounds fantastic and can cover a lot of sonic ground. The pitch-shifting harmonic vibrato has a medium-wide variable speed. Both speakers are original and are well-suited for this circuit. For reference, it sounds very similar to Jimmy Vaughn's tone on The Fabulous Thunderbirds' recordings.

PHYSICAL CONDITION:
 Very Good. Often on vintage Fender amps, you will see what mistakenly looks like water rings from a cup being placed on the amp. These rings are actually pine tar resin rising up from the pine cabinet after years of the wood getting hot from use. The brown tolex is in good condition, as are the jacks, switches and knobs. Both speakers are original and firmly intact.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a Vintage 1962 Fender Super Amp Model 6G4-A Brown Tolex 2x10 Combo Amp w/ Flight Case.

 The 1962 Fender Super Amp (model 6G4-A) is a rare and highly collectible "brown panel" tube amplifier that bridges the sonic gap between the aggressive mid-range of 1950s tweed amps and the sparkling clean headroom of mid-60s black panel models. This specific model year features the iconic rough brown Tolex, wheat grille cloth, and a unique "harmonic vibrato" (mistakenly labeled tremolo) circuit that creates a lush, phase-shifting effect.
