Fender Deluxe Reverb - 1964 Vintage Pre CBS Original. This is the 'holy grail' of guitar amps. One of the best hand wired, point-to-point amps of all time. Leo really nailed this one. This one is dated January 1964 making it a very early black face. Fender started making them in the fall of 1963, but very few went out in 1963. Jan 1964 is extremely early. Many collectors feel the earliest black face amps had a certain magic and were the best sounding. This one will not dissappoint. Note there is no Fender logo on grill cloth. They didn't start the logos until 1965. Replaced non original parts include: Speaker was replaced with a period correct vintage Jensen (same type as original), All power caps were replaced in August 2011 for safety, Reverb Tremolo footswitch did not come with amp, a re-issue that looks like the original comes with the sale, I put all new matched tubes in it about 6 months ago, no more than 40 hours on them. Sounds Killer! Otherwise it is all original. All transformers incl. power, output, choke and reverb transformer are original. (pics and codes available) Original handle, original grill cloth, original tolex. Everything else original. $250 spent on servicing the amp in August 2011 by a top quality amp tech. This amp is in exceptional condition considering its age. Everything works perfectly including the reverb and tremolo. The tone is out of this world. Have to hear it to understand. Very quiet on noise and hum. Very rich and pure on tone. Has the perfect blend between grit and clean chime. I'm only selling it because I would like an amp with a little more wattage.
