Fender is reissuing its 1957 Champ amp. And I don't mean that some Fender factory is making a plastic case that looks like the Champ amp and putting it on top of current/recent amp models. These suckers are legit. Hand-wired and replicated to the T (five-watts, one-speaker, vacuum tubes, etc.). Johnny Cash, Keith Richards, and Eric Clapton have all channeled their musical greatness through one of these at some point (Clapton having recorded "Layla" on one). It'll set you back about a grand. Won't necessarily make you a better axe-wielder, but whatever noise your making will sound about as good as any noise can.
