Fender have created a limited-edition amp made from wood which was used to build the famed warship The USS Constitution.
The amps were created for the National Association of Music Merchants show in California, and will retail for $20,000 for a 26-watt Pro model, based on Fender’s ’57 Custom Pro combo. As New Atlas reports, the idea came about when Fender were able to procure some wood used in the ship’s construction.
“Wood used to repair the frigate was pretty scarce until construction crews in Boston’s former Charlestown Naval Yard stumbled upon a huge bounty of centuries-old oak beams used in tall ship construction and repair”, the publication reports.
“Still in good condition, the Navy kept most of it, but a portion of the stockpile was made available for public sale.”
