Hi
I am considering getting a 5E3 clone from a source on ebay in the UK
This is it
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Tweed-Deluxe-5E3-Clone-Amp-Hand-Built-in-the-UK-Fully-Tested?item=160783514057&cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p5197.m1374&_trkparms=algo%3DPI.WATCH%26otn%3D12%26po%3DLCA%26 ps%3D63%26clkid%3D7847543967151333072#ht_628wt_129 6
I have sourced cabinets and speakers (prob Celestion Greenback)
Fortunately the ebay seller is only 5 miles away from me and is happy for me to go round and try the amp. Now I know when something sounds good, but I dont know what else I should be aware of when looking at 5E3 clones.
What do you think?
There's not much to go on with the pictures....

Everything looks to be of good quality in the chassis.
If it sounds good, go for it.

Thanks for response

So there are no common things to look for with 5E3 builds?
