StewMac '57 Mini Tweed 5W Amp Kit

One-knob titan of tone
This amp is a timeless studio darling whose tiny size hides tremendous punch and versatility. The 5F1 circuit was originally meant to be a student amp but wasn't kid stuff for long; rock's finest guitarists hauled it off to their studios and recorded some of the greatest songs ever recorded.

StewMac has lovingly recreated this timeless amplifier in our '57 Mini Tweed 5W Amp Kit. This is one of our Icon Kits: loving reproductions of vintage classics.

If this project sounds hard, don't worry. We've gone to great lengths to make these kits something a complete beginner can tackle. This is our simplest kit and a perfect place to start. It comes with all the parts you'll need to complete this project in just a few evenings.

Details:

• The cabinet interiors are genuine 3/4" North American Pine (not plywood), just like the ones made in the Fullerton factory in the 1950s
• Superior craftsmanship on the Tweed covered exteriors with perfectly aligned seams
• Premium quality hardware
• Top-shelf 6V6, 12AX7, 5Y3 tubes and vintage spec Heyboer transformers to give your amp the perfect vintage tone

• Authentic fiber eyelet boards
• Period-correct pushback wire
• Top-quality 8" speaker
