For sale is a rare vintage Fender Champ 5F1 Tweed Narrow Panel 5-Watt 1x8" Guitar Combo tube amplifier from 1962. This is an amazing sounding amp and in fantastic exceptionally clean condition for its age. Hard to find them in this nice of shape. Fully functional, came from a private collector (famous singer/song writer), was seldom used. Previous owner had it recently serviced by Rocky Roberts.
