This vintage 1967 Fender Deluxe Reverb guitar amplifier came through the shop a few years ago. It was an excellent example of a mid 1960s Fender guitar amp with thick cleans and swampy reverb tone. I'm always a vintage Fender guitar amp buyer but I especially love the Deluxe Reverb amplifiers. Please contact me here to sell a vintage Fender guitar amp

The 1960s Fender amplifiers with Reverb have been an industry standard for electric guitar tone since their introduction in 1964. The Deluxe Reverb-Amp is the most popular of the line with its manageable ~22 watt output and 12″ speaker. The Reverb and Tremolo that this amp delivers has become the benchmark by which many other amp builders have based their circuit and tonal aspirations.

This clean August of 1967 has survived in nice condition and is ready to play. It retains all the important original parts including all transformers, capacitors on the circuit board, and original speaker. We've just completed a standard service and check that included updating the power cord to a grounded plug, two plate resistors, one resistor on the circuit board, and one capacitor in the power section. The original filter capacitors appeared to be functioning within factory specifications and didn't exhibit signs of failure so we left them in place (edit: sold!)
