Preowned Divided by 13 CJ11 Combo Seafoam Green with Celestion G12M

The Ultimate Hot-Rodded Tweed: Boutique 6V6 Power and Performance

The Guitar Sanctuary is incredibly thrilled to offer this extraordinary, pre-owned Divided by 13 CJ11 1x12 Combo in an eye-catching custom Seafoam Green and Black finish. Meticulously handwired by master builder Fred Taccone in Southern California, the CJ11 is the definitive answer for players seeking the raw, expressive touch-sensitivity of a legendary late-50s Tweed circuit combined with enhanced headroom, a tighter bass tracking response, and a more versatile master volume control. Driven by a pair of 6V6 power tubes kicking out a highly efficient 11 watts, this compact powerhouse delivers massive, oversized amplifier tones that defy its highly portable cabinet footprint.

Forensic Provenance & Collector Detail: The "H.A.D." Connection

This particular CJ11 is an absolute standout piece for collectors, boasting meticulous factory provenance verified directly by its internal cabinet label. Designated with serial number #3487-425 and showing a meticulous hand-signed build date of 8-3-19, the chassis-bed label features the highly coveted, rare factory designation "H.A.D." hand-written alongside Fred Taccone’s personal "FT" initials. This insider notation serves as a direct, highly sought-after design nod to legendary amplifier pioneer Howard Alexander Dumble, signifying a circuit tuned for an incredibly rich, touch-sensitive harmonic bloom, seamless dynamic cleanup, and transparent compression.

Excellent/Near-Mint Condition with Classic Greenback Chime

Housed in an incredibly clean, striking Seafoam Green Tolex wrap with a sharp Black grille cloth, this hand-built combo is in excellent to near-mint cosmetic and structural condition, showing only the absolute lightest signs of gentle home studio handling. The cabinet is loaded with a premium 16-ohm Celestion G12M Greenback speaker. The Greenback is the absolute perfect sonic pairing for this circuit, serving up a sweet, woody low-end response, a vocal and rich midrange punch, and a creamy, compressed high-frequency break-up that perfectly complements the amp's hot-rodded American voice.

It gives you all that loose, singing, touch-sensitive sag of an old 5E3 Tweed Deluxe, but the master volume configuration is incredibly usable, and the bottom end doesn't fall apart when you hit it hard. This specific 2019 unit is an absolute collector's gem with the 'H.A.D.' inscription inside the cab—it tells you everything you need to know about the harmonic depth and legendary design inspiration behind this amp."
