I'm selling my 1966 Fender Deluxe amp. My parents bought this for me new when I was taking guitar lessons - it has a lot of sentimental value. I played it on the road for a few years so it shows some wear but still sounds great. In the 70's I put in an Altec speaker 417-BH speaker with an aluminum cone. I played this on a gig last year, it's tough to see it go!

I had it refurbished by Marty at Futara Electronics in Orange. His appraisal is below.
