Just developing a hankering for one of these, possibly could do some kind of trade for a swart ast jr otherwise it's cash.

If you’re after the sound and not the badge, it would be well worth opening up your search to non fender units too. 

Ive played quite a few 5e3 amps from a variety of builders and each one has been different to all the others and offered something unique. The only one that left me totally flat was the Fender Custom Shop offering. 

Of course if you’re looking for an original, that’s a whole other exciting can of worms.

Well, you make a decent point, and I had a clone in the past which was excellent. So, I'll qualify my request by saying, I'd consider a clone but it has to look the part. I'm not after anything remotely vintage. Cheers

This was on my radar when I bought an amp earlier in the year, have never tried it but you can spec it with a power limiter which I liked the idea of.

I took your request as being more ‘A quality product from a reputed manufacturer’

The bedroom builds are definitely a total lottery, with similar odds of winning

If you can find a Vyse 5E3, snap it up. 

Best amp I've ever heard

It's not a Tweed Deluxe per se but many (myself included) consider it better....

I’d buy it over the Fender Custom Shop model, but still
veey pricey.

As you say, pricey!

Gents, there are many reasons why they are expensive. Build/construction/sound quality, customer service, to name a few. Have you tried one yet?

My fave is the Gartone, and I have had....err... a few.

I've just had Barry Vyse build me a custom 5e3 with a master volume. I can highly recommend him. He built and delivered it to me in less than a month and did it for a very reasonable price. I've only had it a week but I can't stop playing it!

Best amp ever
