Hey Thomas! Based on the details you’ve provided your amp would be a Narrow Panel Tweed Champ. https://mojotone.com/blogs/fender-field-guide/fender-narrow-panel-tweed-champ
Thanks for the comment!

I have this amp that I thought was a 1959, it looks exactly like this one above, but the Fender logo has the stylized F in script, the schematic says it’s a “Champ Amp” Model 5F1. The grill cloth is different with vertical & horizontal
The pre-amp tube is a 12ax7.
Do you know what variation this would be, and how many different variations were produced in the mid to late 50’s?
