1964 Fender Showman Amp
Model AB763
Electric Guitar/Bass Amplifier Head
Made in USA
I bought this used Showman head in the late 70’s from a music store in Hawaii; it was really clean and taken well care of. I was the second owner, played with it briefly and then added it to my collection. Apparently the previous owner removed the piggy-back mount hardware. I noticed the Tolex was so clean so I replaced all of the chrome hardware. Recently ( Sept 2024 ) I took it to my current amp tech and he replaced the filter caps, power cord, powered it for an hour and checked operation. He says it’s now in great shape. I questioned him about the brown dry liquid in the chassis and my tech told me was like a glue they used to use to keep the wires down. Comes with original Victoria Luggage cover which has damage along stitching and shows a lot of wear.

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER
**It might serve the buyers purpose to bring up the power slowly with a variac since these used amp heads are over 50 years old and have not been used for a few decades. Our amp tech has only replaced the needed parts -(filter caps & power cords as specified) to just get them turned on and running for an hour. Please see a skilled amp tech before extended use. The operation of the amps requires that they be regularly serviced for optimal performance. Please remember these are vintage pieces, we cannot guarantee that they will not need service or more parts in their future; only some obvious parts were changed to get it working. Most of the parts are still the original old parts remaining which will be stated in our listings. We do not have any control on what was done by previous owners, but we try to write in detail any information we have. We cannot guarantee that all our information is 100% correct; it is our humble opinions and own musical knowledge. Please see photos and ask questions to make your own assessment.
We do not accept returns since some buyers like to switch parts and return. We will not be refunding any money for parts you decided that they need to be replaced or from running the amp incorrectly.
