1958 Fender High Power Tweed Twin 5F8-A
1958 Fender High Power Tweed Twin 5F8-A
The "High-Power" 5F8-A tweed twin shoves 85 watts of tube-driven tweed tone through a pair of 12" speakers and is revered as a mountain-top, holy-grail combo! This particular example, Serial #A-00241, was manufactured in '58 and delivers a killer sound with a few updates including, replaced tweed, replaced era-correct Jensen P12N speakers, updated signal/filter capacitors, and a 3-prong for grounded operation. These amps are revered by legends like Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Joe Bonamassa, and many others, so it is safe to say that this circuit is a true testament to Leo Fender's ingenuity.
