1957 Fender Tweed Super Amp 5F4 (5E4 Label)
No Sales Tax For Customers Outside Of California.
This 1957 Fender Tweed Super Amp absolutely kills and it has all of its original transformers.
This amp came through the shop over a year ago. At that time I checked everything, looking for leaky caps, etc. I changed a couple electrolytics and decided that I'd leave the rest as original as possible. This time around I went back through and did a bit more updating. All the original caps that I removed in both efforts are included.
The tubes were all tested on the way back into stock. They're all recent, including a pair of Svetlana power tubes. The power cable is a grounded one. The handle is a repro. The tweed is original and the grill has been changed. The speakers are P10Qs from 1953 and 1954. Both have been reconed.
The amp runs really strong and has the unmistakable, powerful tweed tone that the Super is known for. This is very much at the top of the list of performing amps, period.

Shipping policy:
When you purchase this item you are hereby agreeing to this shipping policy. We remove tubes from amps that could be damaged in shipping. We remove the chassis from some amps so that the large transformers don't damage a chassis or cabinet. These cases result in multiple box shipments, and they require the buyer to do some assembly on delivery. We do this because we have experienced shipping issues in the past, and this is our prevention measure. Vintage amps are sold as-is because they can need service intermittently. Everything is tested here in our shop on the way into our inventory, and again before shipping. We will cover shipping damage, but we cannot be responsible for the failure of vintage components in 20-to-50-plus year old amps. Shipments will require signature on delivery, no exceptions. If there is damage, the buyer must retain all packing materials intact and picture them immediately and send them to sales@maharsvintageguitars.com. Less than 1% of our shipments are damaged in transit, and we are committed to making sure your item arrives safely, but we are taking these additional measures to make sure you are happy with your purchase.
Buyer to pay prior to shipment via Paypal, wire transfer, credit card or other electronic means. Payment must clear before shipping. Certified checks and trades are accepted, however checks must clear before we will ship and trades must be received here and evaluated prior to shipment of our item.
All orders ship within three business days of the receipt of an order, usually faster. Tracking information will be automatically forwarded to all buyers. Buyers must retain all shipping materials in the event a return is necessary.
Returns accepted if the purchaser responds within 48 hours of receipt of an item and there is a discrepancy relating to the condition or originality of an item. Returns are not accepted for items that do not meet the needs or sonic tastes of clients due to the subjective nature, unless such concern is stated prior to the purchase. Any return for reasons other than incorrect advertising of condition or originality on the part of Mahar's Vintage Guitars shall be the responsibility of the buyer, which shall result in the buyer paying all shipping costs (to and from) their location.
