About this listing
We are proud to offer you this 1959 Fender Champ in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Simple and elegant, this vintage Champ boasts the hallowed 5F1 circuit through its 8" speaker. Don't settle for the 6" speaker versions of the previous Champ iteration (1951-1957). This is the one you want. It doesn't get much more pure than the Champ, and this studio favorite delivers dynamic and glassy tube tone that can go from clean to fully saturated overdrive with a twist of the single knob. The circuit features the original singular Stackpole pot and the preamp has been recapped as needed. The chassis boasts a clean chrome-plated control panel with nearly all of the original white silkscreen lettering, and a modern three-prong power cable has been added. The speaker has been upgraded to the beloved Weber 8 signature speaker (no longer in production). The tube chart is fully intact as well, noting the 5F1 circuit and stamped with an "IF" code that translates to June of 1959. The original lacquered tweed exhibits modest ambering with only light edge wear.
