Brian Setzer's Gear
This Fender Deluxe Reverb Amp was owned by Brian Setzer
This amp is in really great shape. The tolex has a few minor scuffs here and there but nothing major. The grill cloth is a bit dirty from age but no major tears. The amp functions completely as intended and sounds amazing. Super splashy reverb and the amp breaks up with perfection. The plug is currently a 2 prong with no ground. Comes with vintage foot switch.

SN: 6040- 6820 This is a super cool vintage archtop guitar. There are scrapes and scratches all over the body.

Nothing major or out of the ordinary from a player made in 1952.
