More FUN FACTS...


Oddlings – Yet another printing error has surfaced, this time from the FEI (pre-CBS) days. A 1957 tweed Vibrolux was reported with a tube chart printed with circuit “5E3” (tweed Deluxe) instead of the correct 5F11 (see photo). Clearly Fender wasn’t afraid to use incorrect parts when they were in a bind. We also received a report of a tweed 5G12 Concert. The 5G12 Concert is the earliest version from very late 1959 and early 1960 so the existence of a tweed example, while extremely rare, is certainly plausible since Fender was making lots of tweed amps during the same time period. It’s unknown if the tweed covering was a mistake (“Oops, I thought this was a 4x10 Bassman cabinet that I was covering”) or intentional, perhaps as a special order.

If that amp and the Gretsch ever went up for auction I dare say that they'd fetch enough to bail out a small 3rd world country.
