1964 Fender Blonde Reverb Unit 6G15 – Serial #R03836

Rare Blonde 1964 Fender 6G15 Tube Reverb

Here is a beautiful 1964 Fender 6G15 Reverb Unit in very good cosmetic and technical condition, finished in the rare original blonde tolex with the classic black control panel.

Dating from January 1964 according to the original tube chart, this is a wonderful early-1964 example of Fender’s legendary standalone tube-driven reverb. The 6G15 became an essential part of the sound of early surf, instrumental, rockabilly and studio guitar, delivering the unmistakable deep, splashy and three-dimensional spring reverb that simply cannot be replicated by modern digital effects.

This particular unit retains its original 6G15 circuit and original transformers, while having been professionally serviced for safe and reliable operation.
