1967 Fender Bandmaster
Model AB763
Electric Guitar Head
Made in USA
I bought this Bandmaster back in the 80’s from a friend but never used it. The former owner had taken very good care of it. A few decades ago, I took it to my amp tech who changed the power cord and the power transformer (to a 1972) and then checked it out. He said that it worked fine. Recently (July 2024) I took it to my current amp tech and he replaced the filter caps, ran it and checked operation. He says it’s now in great shape.
The only work I did on the cabinet was to staple silver staples on the front of the shielding screen so the chassis slides in and out easier. Everything else appears to be original. I also covered the tube chart with plastic to preserve it. There is a yellow SH marking on the bottom of the cabinet; this is the signature of Sam Hutton, the cabinet builder.

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.
