Yes and the top panel doesn't have the angles...usually. Still, bet it sounds great. |

Serial Number says made in late 1959 so we can call it a 60 model will post the Serial Number when i get home .As far as the rear panel I will switch them as soo as I get here to the house. Book list current resale at 1750.00 to 1775.00
Really don't want to ship but will pack it well and insure it out a@#$.
Really would rather sell it here than on ebay. Buddy want a newer lighter weight amp. Told he wouldn"t find one that will sound as good ass this one.

Looks like a 59 to me. Controls read "Bass Treble Volume" like they do on the the earliest brownface Fenders. Later ones are "Volume Treble Bass".
Tube chart would indicate which model it is, ie model # probably starts with a 5 not a 6...Jerry |

Yup.The "center volume" amps are real early.The cosmetics are a little off,though.The original grillcloth was most likely very similar to what was on the late '50s tweed amps,perhaps oxblood.The "wheat" cloth on there now came a little later.The Tolex appears to be the later "rough brown" style.The earliest brownface combo amps were Tolexed with a slightly lighter variety that had a distinct pinkish cast.Also,the earlier Concerts didn't come with tiltback legs and I'm fairly sure legs weren't supplied on 4-10" amps at all until the Super Reverb came out.
Those (easily fixed) issues aside,that's a very rare,very cool old amp;at the asking price,it's quite a bargain and should go quickly.Thanks for showing it off!

Nice amp !!
I have the same.....early 61 6G12 with the pinkish tolex, oxblood grillcloth and 4 Jensen P10Q.
It IS a REAL TONE MONSTER and the vibrato is to die for.... Tons of headroom. Tilt legs have been added by the previous owner.
Goog luck with your sale. The price is more than OK. |

This is a 1960 model Fender Concert ....The gril cloth should be brown , the panels are switched in the back , but it does have the early volume in the middle layout .... I have a newer model that as the volume pot first in line ..... These are GREAT sounding amps, and have the early vibrato that I would have to say is the BEST vibrato that Fender ever made .....This is a KILLER blues amp !!.....Jim
Remi,
Nice combo the Concert and LP Jr !!!.....I'll bet that combo SMOKES !!!.....Jim |

Great looking amp Daniel. The grill cloth color is a minor detail. It sure looks sweet. Good luck with the sale! Found pics of an original (except 1 speaker) 59 Concert with angles for reference:
Help! Im gettin GAS!

Just noticed something else about Daniel's amp-the faceplate is a lighter shade of brown than on later brownfaces.You can see it on the pic Clete put up,and Remi's amp shows the later darker faceplate.
@ Mark-the FFG says the brownface Concert's shipping weight is 55 pounds.
At this price,this amp is a bargain and a half.If I didn't already own one(since 1967!)I'd jump on it in an instant.Daniel,Clete and Remi,thanks for posting all the pics.Here's my Concert.

Just wanted to say "thanks" for everything Danny. I'm REALLY looking to trying out this amp once it arrives. Those Jensen P10Rs are a HUGE bonus as well. I'm planning to load two of them in my brown Super. Cheers!
