1959 Fender Champ

ARCHIVED • SOLD

1959 Fender Champ

A museum-grade example of Fender’s most famous small amp, this 1959 Fender Champ is about as new-looking as they get and comes with its original Victoria cover. There’s no corrosion on the chassis, faceplate, or handle hardware, the original tweed and grill cloth are clean and perfect, and the handle is largely unworn. The tube chart is dated October 1959, all parts are dated mid-year 1959, including the original tubes. The original AC cord is still in use, as well as the “Death Cap” fuse circuit. The only changed part is the first power supply filter cap.

This 5F1 Champ sounds incredible, works as it should, and looks better than any we’ve ever seen. If you want the best one, here it is!
