Hey guys,
I got this amp a few months ago, and am just now posting about it. It is a 1956 Fender Deluxe in really good condition. It is my first vintage amp. I have always been very hesitant to buy a vintage amp because I don't know anything about electronics and did not want the hassles of maintenance and such, but then I saw this for sale at Rumble Seat Music. I felt I could trust RSM, so I took the plunge!
The story - This belonged to one of the guitar techs at Rumble Seat, who had owned it for 10 years. He bought it when he worked at Gruhn's. Gruhn's had it for sale and the tech liked it so much that he took the fuse out so that people would think it wasn't working and wouldn't buy it! This gave him time to save up some money to buy it. It is all original with the exception of a recent cap job and a replacement handle.
