Live Edge Red Cedar – Custom 20 – SOLD

This one-of-a-kind Custom Shop beauty is our take on the transitional Brownface era of Fender tube amplifiers. Our unique hybrid design fuses elements of the Brownface and Blackface Princeton together in an innovative design that feels familiar yet takes you beyond what any of the stock vintage models could touch. This amp captures the very best of the 50’s & 60’s era gone by with amazing tone and sustain from the moment its powered up. Heavy deep blues and soul are available at the turn of a dial, all in a hand-crafted 20-Watt package that is perfect for the studio and stage. “Live Edge Red Cedar” We started out by hand selecting the finest “Live Edge” Figured Aromatic Western Red Cedar brought in from Washington State. Live Edge means we kept some of the natural log edges to retain the beauty of nature. Choosing the right areas of the lumber for tone and aesthetics was key. The stunning one of a kind Cedar head and 1 x 12″ cabinet are a true work of art that has to be seen to be believed; built by master craftsman Jeff Earl at J Design, who hand-selected this piece of Red Cedar. The distressed Cedar texture and depth on this piece could be compared to a fine piece of handcrafted furniture.
