Important notes: this may be the cleanest 5C3 that we've ever had in our shop (and we've seen and own A LOT of Tweeds; see photos from our last guitar show)... this is a very short-lived circuit (~2500 units produced), which was introduced in mid-1953 and was quickly replaced with the 5D3 variant about a year later. This circuit is known for sweeter, more mellower or "smoother" breakup compared to the more aggressive 5D3 variant that replaced it. This is serial number #0099. It remains 100% original down to its original leather handle save for a standard partial recap and 3-prong cable. The amp is fully serviced and ready to be loved and played for another 70 years!
