Making its debut at the end of 1959, Fender's Concert Amp was among the first amplifiers to feature Fender's restyled amp design. Tolex replaced the lacquered tweed covering and a front-mounted control panel replaced the top mounted controls typical of Fender amps built up to that point. The original 5G12 Concert Amp is a 40 watt combo with a 4x10" speaker configuration. By sometime late in 1963, the Concert was redesigned with Fender’s AB763 circuit and a new black-panel aesthetic, but it retained its 4x10” speaker design and its large transformers. As a non-reverb model, the Concert was discontinued in 1965, leaving the Super Reverb as the company’s only 4x10” offering.

This example is dated mid-year 1964 and is a great sounding amplifier. It is original throughout, complete with its original Utah speakers that are dated to the 18th week of 1964 original transformers dated to the 9th, 15th, and 19th weeks of 1964 respectively. It’s had basic servicing and a grounded AC plug installed in the recent past. Expect Lots of power, clean headroom, and punch; and that classic black-panel mid-range scoop, which makes these amps so characteristically Fender. It’s fabulous plugged straight in, and also takes pedals really well.

Original Tolex and cloth is in good condition, there are a couple of small tears in the grill. The amp comes with a modern foot switch for the tremolo.
