The amp is in great condition, especially for its age.  It has been vetted and tested to perfect working order by legendary amp guru Greg Leon.  The transformer, speaker, etc. are all original, as is the tweed covering (quite often you'll see these having been re-covered - this one is not).  The natural aging on it adds to the vibe in the best way.   The pine cabinet has held up for the last 68 years; the amp itself has proven itself to be a workhorse and is ready to go for another 68 years.  This is Golden Era Tweed Tone, live within reach.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt's a rare bird in general, and being part of the Ry Cooder Collection makes it a true one of a kind.  Of course it sounds amazing.  For many, the mid-50's Twins are the way to go - and this one could be a dream come true for any collector.   A signed Certificate of Authenticity is included. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA Fender Twin like this from 1955 is a special amp for sure.  It would be regardless of who had it, but as part of the Ry Cooder Collection, it takes on a new collectability factor.   \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSerial # 0047\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e***\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDue to the nature of this collectible amp, it is not on display in our showroom.  If you come in and want to see it, please inquire (calling ahead would be recommended).  Also, due to the size of the box needed to ship it safely and the cost of fully insuring it, this amp is not eligible for free shipping automatically - please contact us directly prior to purchasing online.\u003c\/em\u003e***\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43886287978739,"sku":"85FEN063","price":21999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-DSCF4683.jpg?v=1698092408"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.com\/collections\/black-friday-2024-guitars.oembed","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
