Up for sale is a stunning 1959 Fender Deluxe 5E3 Tweed — one of the most iconic amps ever made, delivering that warm, touch-sensitive breakup that defined countless records from Neil Young to Mike Campbell.

This is the real deal: narrow-panel tweed, and the classic 5E3 circuit.

✅ Specs & Details:

Model: Fender Deluxe 5E3 (tube chart mis-stamped “5F6” — a known Fender quirk of the era)

Serial: D11417 (late 1959 production)

Transformers: Original Schumacher, codes dating to late 1959 (50246, etc.)

Speaker: Original Jensen P12R, code 220916 (16th week of 1959)

Tubes: Vintage USA glass currently installed (Sylvania, RCA, etc.)

Condition: Clean chassis with original Astron capacitors and cloth wiring. Some normal wear and service history consistent with 65 years of use, but very original overall.

Cabinet: Tweed covering and grille in excellent vintage condition; leather handle intact. We airing on the side of calling this a retweed

The 5E3 Deluxe is the ultimate studio and club amp — 12–15 watts of harmonically rich, blooming tone that reacts beautifully to your guitar’s volume knob and playing dynamics. These amps are getting harder to find in such complete condition

💡 Notes:

The tube chart says 5F6 instead of 5E3. This is a known Fender factory slip and does not affect value or performance — the chassis, circuit, and components are 100% Deluxe spec.

Runs ok, could use some servicing, but i wanted to leave that the buyer of this beautiful ampnto make that choice.
