Up for sale is my 1951 Fender Deluxe 5A3 Tweed amp – an iconic piece of vintage gear with all the warmth, breakup, and mojo you’d expect from early post-war Fender craftsmanship. Has the rare Lilly tape with handwritten 3876 s/n.
• Serial Number: 3876 (1951 production)
• Speaker: Original Jensen P12R (code 220110 = 10th week of 1951)
• Transformers & Circuit: All original and untouched
• Tweed Covering & Grill: Original
• Caps, Pots, Tubes: All period-correct
• Handle & Rear Top Panel: Correct reproductions (only non-original parts)

This is not a reissue or parts build — it’s the real deal. The amp sounds phenomenal, delivering the classic midrange growl and touch sensitivity that made these amps legendary. Perfect for studio use, collectors, or vintage amp purists.
