This array of original Fender parts all come from a 1952 Fender Bassman that was rebuilt. Most of the capacitors and the hardware would be correct for 1952 Pro also. I've had them since the 1970s and kept them for restoration potential and never got a chance to use them. Most of what you see is for cosmetic purposes, however, there are ways to bring most back with restoration techniques. A nice view of the past for die-hard amp collectors. Feel free to ask questions for a particular part and ... more

12 string laud made in 1952 by the renowned luthier Modesto Borreguero for the music shop Casa Garrido

Generally in decent condition considering it's age - there are a few marks, scratches etc, some of which I have photographed - and it sounds fine, as you'd expect from such a master builder.
