(41.3 cm.), 17 3\/4 in. (45.1 cm.) width, and 8 7\/8 in. (22.5 cm.) deep. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis worn, torn, and epically smoked Fender Harvard bears the signature of one of rock \u0026amp; roll's founding fathers -- the badass legend Ike Turner -- on the face. It was part of the permanent collection of the Memphis Music Hall Of Fame and comes with a notarized certificate attesting to that from 2001, signed by museum director John C. Montague. The museum itself sadly closed some time back, and the collection was scattered once again out into the world at large.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe amp itself is very worn externally, showing signs of extensive road use; the tweed is dirty, darkened overall, and frayed on the bottom, but oft-lost parts like the back panels, nameplate, and handle brackets are all intact. The control panel is cleaner than one might expect with clear intact stenciling, still fitted with the original knobs and fuse holder. Internally the amp has a newer speaker, caps, and some resistors alongside the original transformers, tube sockets, and wiring. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile we don't know what use Uncle Ike may have made of this amp, it definitely was somebody's main squeeze for a long time. We'd love to think it's this Harvard grinding away on some of those fabulous early 1960s Ike \u0026amp; Tina Sue label 45s, but there's no proof of that; what we do know is it's still a great-sounding old Fender with some serious history behind it and as funky a vibe as you can get. Very Good Condition.","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853310742668,"sku":"7903","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_ca9439f6-aa35-463c-a24a-348444a312ac.jpg?v=1774334141","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/fender-harvard-model-5f10-owned-by-ike-turner-tube-amplifier-1960-7903","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
