Comments: In 64 Fender added the word “DUAL” in block letters above the script “Showman Amp” to the control panel of the Dual Showman. The Showman 12 was discontinued in 1966.

ALL ORIGINAL transformers, tolex etc. Codes match on the transformers too. Possibly some minor component changes ( filter caps ) for routine maintenance to keep the amp running and safe.

The condition given its age is ok, various cosmetic marks here and there, but structurally sound. Please study the pictures closely as it is a survivor and for it’s 60 years, isn't doing to badly!

Fitted with a US spec mains plug, but included is a UK 230v to US 120v transformer.

One of the best clean sounds I’ve heard. I’ve enjoyed this amp sparsely just in the studio and at home for the last 10 years, it’s time for it to impress another owner, and is a collectors item too.
