*Though the date code (OA) on the tube chart indicates a manufacture date in January of 1965, we are certain this amp was actually made a year later. All component date codes date to late 1965, and the serial number is from very early 1966. Our working theory is that this is one of the first amps produced in 1966, and the Fender worker that stamped the chart forgot to switch the year code.
