Up for sale is a beautiful example of a late-’50s Fender Vibrolux 5F11 tweed combo amp. This is the tremolo-equipped sibling of the Fender Harvard, and one of the most musical, touch-responsive small tweeds Leo ever designed. It delivers that perfect balance between sweet cleans, gritty breakup, and lush vintage tremolo.

Features & Details

Model: Fender Vibrolux 5F11 (tweed)

Year: 1958 (chassis serial F02546, tube chart intact)

Speaker: original Jensen P10R “Special Design”

Footswitch: Original wood single-button footswitch for tremolo included. Needs to have RCA plug refitted.

Tweed & Grill: Original tweed covering and brown grill cloth with honest wear

Electronics: Mostly original circuit. Amp works okay, but may need to be further serviced if you want to reliably gig with it. I did not have it done because it's such an old amp, and I want to leave it to the buyer

Transformers: Original (power and output check out as correct)

Condition: Excellent for age – normal wear, but structurally solid and fully functional

Tone

This amp is everything you want from a late ’50s Fender — sparkling cleans, warm midrange breakup at manageable volumes, and rich, swampy tremolo. Perfect for recording, small gigs, or collectors who want the real deal.

Value

These don’t come up often, and when they do, they’re highly sought after by both players and collectors.
