Rare to see here in the UK, in fact pretty rare to see anywhere, this superb 1962 Fender Twin amplifier, presented in its original blonde tolex, is an exceptional piece of music history and a testament to Fender's vision during the early 1960s and the forerunner to the ubiquitous Twin Reverb. 

The blonde tolex covering, complemented by the wheat-colored grille cloth, is in very nice condition, compared to most we have see showing only minor wear that enhances its vintage character without detracting from its overall aesthetic appeal. There is a small rip in the grille (see pics).

At the heart of this amplifier are two 12-inch Jensen speakers, dating from 1964, which have been carefully matched to the amp's original specifications. These speakers are renowned for their clear, articulate sound, delivering the Twin's signature tone - crisp highs, smooth mids, and a deep, resonant low end. The speakers provide a well-rounded sonic profile that remains true to the amp's heritage while adding a touch of vintage warmth.

The amplifier features Fender's legendary circuitry, including 4 x 6L6 Groove Tube tubes and the classic Fender tremolo effect which offers a pulsating effect that adds depth and dimension to your sound. The control panel, with its original cream knobs and brown finish, is in good condition, with all functions operating smoothly and reliably.

This Twin, with its 80 watts of pure tube power, offers excellent headroom but breaks up sooner than the Twin Reverb that followed it making it ideal for both clean tones and overdriven sounds when pushed. The amp's wide tonal range and dynamic responsiveness make it a versatile choice for a variety of musical styles, from country and blues to rock and jazz.

For the discerning collector or serious musician, this 1962 Fender Twin amplifier is a rare and valuable find. Its blend of original components, iconic design, and vintage Jensen speakers make it not just an amplifier, but a piece of musical history, ready to deliver classic Fender tone for decades to come...

Not sure when we will see another like this...!
