Fender 5F1 Champ (1962)
Vintage
We've been fortunate to have some truly excellent examples of Fender's famous student model combo, and this one doesn't disappoint. All original where it counts and cleanly serviced with a clear intention to preserve its factory presentation. The cabinet, tweed, and grill cloth are all in wonderful shape with just the lightest signs of handling wear throughout. The chassis is also very clean, with most of its lettering intact.
There's not much else to be said about this one. Clean enough for a Fender collector, and functional enough for the musician who wants to add this to their touring or recording rig.
**Please Note: All vintage amplifiers - regardless of service history - contain electronic components that will eventually require replacement or repair. This is often unpredictable and should be expected as a vintage amplifier owner. We are not responsible for additional service upon receipt.**
