Fender Concert

Unlike most of the other Professional Series amps however, the Concert (along with Fender Vibrasonic) were not previously offered as tweed-covered models in the 1950s.

By the end of 1963 and into early 1964, the Concert amp transitioned into black tolex with silver grill along with the rest of the Fender Amplifier line.

Apart from the variations in tolex and grill cloth color, the design of the Concert Amp as it appeared in the first phase (1960s) was largely consistent.

Over this period, the Concert offered vibrato, bass and treble controls delivering approximately 40 watts of power.

Both were hand-wired, but the newer version was designed by Paul Rivera, who Fender hired to redesign a number of amp models during the decade.
