Fender 'Wide Panel Tweed' Twin 5C8 (1953-1954)
Avg price: $3,911.79
According to this Music Radar article, "With the addition of Lou Martin on keyboards to Rory’s band in 1973, the guitarist looked for an amp that would work better within the group’s fuller sound and began to favour Fender combos, such as this Fender Twin, which became a studio favourite. The amp has a very early serial number (0070), so Rory was cautious about taking it on the road." It also mentions that this amp was used on the albums Tattoo and Blueprint.
