This Fender Twin-Amp was owned by Brian Setzer

The tolex is in overall really great condition other than some very minor dirt here and there. The grill cloth has one very small tear at the top as well as a few loose threads here and there, but almost non noticeable. The left side of the cabinet (facing the amp) has a small dent of the wood, likely from being bumped by something. The tolex is still intact covering the dent. The amp functions as intended and sounds great. Plenty of low end on this one! Come with a foot switch that controls the tremolo. This amp currently has a 2 prong cable.
