for the Deluxe 90

A Message from the Chairman

Since 1946, Fender realized the importance of your amplifier. You see, your
amplifier is more than just a combination of dials, wires and speakers. It is a

finely tuned musical instrument

. And like any fine musical instrument, it

should be treated with special care and attention to detail.

At Fender, we know what building guitar amplifiers is all about. For over half a
century, we have been designing and producing some of the world’s best
amplifiers, helping shape the face of music. In fact, many of the world’s most
classic and best sounding amplifiers proudly wear the Fender name.

Whether you are after that classic Fender tone, a clean crisp sound for your
Bass or Keyboard or the raw driving power of modern distortion, your
decision to purchase a Fender amplifier is one you will appreciate with each
passing note for years to come.

Wishing you years of enjoyment and a heartfelt

thank you,

Bill Schultz
Chairman of the Board
Fender Musical Instruments Corporation
