To my knowledge... the only 4x10" model that Fender has ever made was the Fender Hotrod Deville....... but I could be wrong on that.
Is there a serial number on it?? If so you could type in "Fender Amp Serial numbers" or something like that into a google search and see what kind of webistes come up... I know there are a ton of sites that explain the dating and codes of guitars... I would assume that there is a site that does the same for Fender Amps.

Fender has made several 4x10's through the years. My cousin has a 60's Fender 4x10 (not sure of the exact model). It's got one(maybe 2) channel with reverb and vibe. It's a really sweet sounding amp, but could use some new tubes and a little work.
You might want to check out http://www.thegearpage.net/board/ . I'm sure there are some folks there that could give you a bit more info on your amp. (not saying you can't/won't get what you're looking for here though) It's a real mature forum and full of the "cork sniffy" types lol. So, they know their stuff when it comes to vintage and boutique gear. There are also a lot of amp builders and guitar luthiers there too.

Yes there is a 4x10 model Fender Concert Amp-175 watt. It is dated by the two capital letters ink stamped on the original inside Model tag. Mine was made in January, 1964,(tag stamp-XQ NL) It was the first year Fender used the Silver mesh speaker cover, and it is a blackface.
And any one with knowledge of this amps history, and facts is welcome to chip in some info :cool:

1960 was the first year for the Concert Amp Series. Don't know if it had a black face or not then. I found this site with very little info on your specific amp but had some interesting stuff and I found One for sale on ebay.

Any little bit helps, thanks.
I did not know when the Concert Amp model series started, thats good to know. I do know that in 1960 it would have been a brown face, and looked much different than the 1964 model. In 64 the brown was phased out for a silver mesh front much like the modern fenders look now. Thats the only differences between the two year models I know of.
Any one with any other interesting tidbits on this subject Id love to hear? :cool:
