{"product_id":"1957-fender-super-501","title":"1957 Fender Super","description":"Model 5E4. Tube chart date code: GA (January 1957).  Serial # S01217 (chassis and tube chart).  Original Jensen P10R speakers dated 45th week of 1956 and 34th week of 1956. Pots all date to late 1956.   A gem of an amplifier, this 1957 Super is in top notch shape and sounds terrific.  Recent professional servicing included a cap job, new power cord and tubes.  We've installed a pair of new Weber Alnico 10A100's and removed the original Jensens for posterity's sake (one of them sounds a little buzzy at high volume - you'll get a total of 4 speakers with this amplifier, the two originals, and the new Webers).  An interesting 5E4 with a factory original Tremolux power section: the amplifier has an 8160 power transformer, 5AR4 rectifier, 6V6 power tubes, two 12AX7's and a single 12AY7.  It must have been built on a Friday.  With the lighter-duty Tremolux power section the amp breaks up at slightly lower volumes than a standard 5E4 or the later 6L6 equipped 5F4 Supers - making this amp an excellent choice for the studio or smaller venues.  There's tone a'plenty at 3 on the volume knob.   Original tweed shows its age, particularly on the corners, but it's not been repaired or modified.  Original grille cloth is tear-free, and the handle is a newer replacement (the broken original will be provided).   A magnificent amp, from Fender's golden age. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sold\"\u003eSOLD\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"FENDER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53610321248622,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/3660\/5550\/files\/super_0508_a8a7a656-da22-4474-bc3e-4a4bedafa85d.jpg?v=1790963691","url":"https:\/\/folkwaymusic.com\/products\/1957-fender-super-501","provider":"Folkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
