Even without jumping the channels the 5E3 volumes interact.

Abalone blocks are my all time favorite also...

I ran across this video some time back, and somehow I found it again this morning. Not only is there a sweet 535, but check out the cool dude playing it!!! I think I've seen him before.

I think Fender is behind this.

I bet that will catch a few "occasional" users. I had to check to see which of 5 emails was used.

The smart money is on a conspiracy by some other guitar forums. It’s a tough town.

I have a Fender 57 Custom Deluxe (Head-Cab) that sounds and responds like no other amp I've ever played through. The secret is in jumpering the inputs and using the guitar volume controls to bring out the magic in these old school 5e3 tweed rigs.

See…. We’re thinking alike.

I have a 5e3 here that needs an exercise program. Would you care to run her?

Shundog and I put orders for our KPB tweed deluxe amps within days of each other. His was built first followed by mine. I still have mine, it’s amazing

5E3 amps are great, one of my favorites, I've always liked the Fender tweed amps the best. When they grind they are glorious, But be aware for stage use they don't have a lot of clean headroom, and if your drummer is a hard hitter a 5E3 may not have enough clean tone on tap. Some samples of my Clark 5E3 from clean to dirty, the last sample I am using an Origin Effects Revival Drive...

The 576 is semihollow, laminate top and back with solid rims. Here's the spec from the '89 catalog. I have the H525 which is thinner, laminate like the 576 but fully hollow and with P90s. It's a bit like a smaller version of the 550 to my thinking. 16" vs 17", 24.75 vs 25.5 scale, both semihollow, so you should have a center block. 2 3/4" thick vs 2 7/8" It's not shown in the 2005 catalog that I have. It was shown in the '93 catalog.
