Fender's first student amplifier – the linen-covered, TV front Champion 800 - was introduced in the late 1940s. The Champion model evolved through several redesigns in the early 1950s before Fender hit a home run with the narrow-panel 5F1 "Champ Amp.”

A remarkable sounding narrow-panel Champ, this '58 tweed delivers a wonderful tonal palette, offering everything from harmonically rich and complex cleans at lower volumes to full-bodied and creamy overdrive when pushed.

In excellent condition, this Champ features original tweed, grille cloth, handle, and hardware. It remains completely unmodified apart from some general servicing to keep it in healthy working order. The original tubes date to the 48th week of 1957 (5Y3), and 4th week of 1958 (6V6). The tube chart code "HE" translates to a May of 1958 date of manufacture. The original Oxford speaker is dated to the 50th week of 1957.

With fresh servicing by Dom Tantalo in Toronto, this 1958 Champ is ready for the road, studio, stage, or living room.
