1965 Fender Champ just into the shop! Second to the Princeton, they're widely regarded as one of the best low-wattage combos that Fender ever put out. Perfect for home use, studio work, and the occasional mellow gig, the Champ represents the final evolution of the heralded Champ circuit with wonderful 60s Fender tone.

This is a very clean example that has been lovingly maintained over the years. It's an early '65 build with late '64 parts, with one foot in the pre-CBS era. It recently received a recap along with installation of a 3-prong power cord and recap, along with a replaced power switch and fuse holder.

**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. We also do not guarantee tube life.**
Condition: Vintage. Fully inspected and set up by TME staff before it ships or leaves the showroom.
