Amplifier Head Cabinet
Made in USA
This is my original Tweed 1952 Fender Pro Amplifier cabinet. I bought this from a friend of mine on Kauai. He bought it from a local musician who had painted the entire Tweed cabinet with brown paint. My friend attempted to clean off as much of the brown paint as he could. At that time in his storage it had also been attacked with termites. When I got the cabinet I found no living termites in it but to be safe, I ... more

This array of original Fender parts all come from a 1952 Fender Bassman that was rebuilt. Most of the capacitors and the hardware would be correct for 1952 Pro also. I've had them since the 1970s and kept them for restoration potential and never got a chance to use them. Most of what you see is for cosmetic purposes, however, there are ways to bring most back with restoration techniques. A nice view of the past for die-hard amp collectors. Feel free to ask questions for a particular part and ... more

12 string laud made in 1952 by the renowned luthier Modesto Borreguero for the music shop Casa Garrido
His guitars sell for around £10, 000 but I can't find anything online about him making any other instruments, so it's difficult to value this one, so Ilet's see what happens
Generally in decent condition considering it's age - there are a few marks, scratches etc, some of which I have photographed - and it sounds fine, as you'd expect from such a master builder.
