Up for sale is a 1958 Fender Harvard in excellent condition. Fully-functioning and sounds excellent. 10W, 1x10" speaker, and famously used by legendary Stax guitarist Steve Cropper, the Harvard was prized for being louder and cleaner than the Princeton. Plain and simple, this amp sounds fantastic. Original Jensen speaker, and loaded with vintage USA tubes:
(2) Sylvana 6V6, (1) RCA 5Y3, (1) Tung-Sol 12AX7, (1) GE 6AT6
Triad Power Transformer #660798 / Triad Output Transformer #108
The internal chassis is super clean: all original with no leaking capacitors! It's got all the clarity and top-end with nice harmonic overtones you expect from a classic 50's Fender Tweed combo, including a beautiful and a slight musical overdrive when you push the volume with higher-output pickups.
The tweed lacquer exterior has darkened a bit, giving it some extra mojo, and there is some visible checking to be expected with age and use, but nothing affecting tone or structural stability. All original except for the handle and input jack #1.
Due to the age and rareness of this amplifier, we are currently offering local pickup only.
Guitar Bar is a storefront in Hoboken, NJ and we actually like talking to people. Feel free to reach out with any questions or offers. Local pickup and inspection is always okay. We reserve the right to end a listing early if an item sells in-store.
