Fender '57 Amp Limited Edition - Piano Black - 1 of 300

The Fender '57 Amp is a limited-edition 300-piece run of this 12-watt, hand-wired tube amplifier with a 12 in. speaker housed in a smartly retro split-grille cabinet with a black "piano lacquer" finish. It was Leo Fender's dream to build a high class amplifier in the style of Chevrolet automobiles, and this is the result!

Fender kicked the 5E3 Deluxe platform up a notch by using a Celestion® Alnico Blue speaker in a new custom-designed Maple cabinet with knurled '57 logo knobs, solid aluminum handle and custom hardware. The amp includes a leather collector's portfolio containing a certificate of authenticity, designer notes, factory photos and some other surprises. Custom-embroidered plush-lined cover included.

Features and Specifications:

• Hand-wired all-tube circuitry on eyelet board
• Late 1950s 5E3 circuit produces about 12 watts
• Matched pair of Groove Tubes™ GT6V6 output tubes
