The Fender® 57 Amp
“The amp that could have been.”
F
antasize on this: Leo Fender at the local coffee
shop in 1957, watching a beautiful new black tail-
finned Chrysler® or Cadillac® gliding by, thinking, “I
should make a really fancy guitar amp some day.”
Fender amplifiers like the late ‘50s Deluxe™ were
the finest available at the time and have become
enduring, collectable icons, but…considering Leo
made custom-color Stratocaster® guitars, what if he
would have strayed from the proven Tweed formula
to give discerning artists and enthusiasts something
a little more…showy?
Enter the Fender 57 Amp. Its striking split-grille
cabinet is hand crafted from solid maple, finished in
spectacular polished black lacquer, and topped with
a plethora of premium appointments. Plugging in
and turning on reveals the beautiful warm tones of
the legendary hand-wired ‘57 Deluxe Amp with the
amazing performance of the coveted Celestion® Blue
Alnico speaker.
Enjoy!
