Hi everyone,
New member here, first post. And I'm already asking for help.
I'm thinking about buying what I believe to be a 1971 Silverface Super Reverb. As part of my due diligence I request photos showing all of the requisite verification points such as chassis serial, tube chart, transformers, speakers and pots.
Everything checks out EXCEPT the chassis serial. The chassis serial starts with "AS" instead of just "A", followed by the typical 5 numbers. I have a '71 Silverface Deluxe Reverb and a '65 Blackface Bassman head, both chassis serials start with "A" only.
I've checked all the online resources I know, called Fender customer support and today reached out to a few vintage guitar shops. So far no explanation.
Can anyone tell me if they've seen a legitimate Fender chassis serial that starts with "AS" or provide a logical explanation?
I attempted to provide a link to a photo of the serial number, not sure if it worked. Newbies!
Thanks much!
