Paul Butterfield's Fender Super Reverb Amplifier

Consigned directly by Paul Butterfield's family, it is strongly believed that this indeed was the amp on the stage at Woodstock!!! Photographs of this amp with the one on that great stage match, and the family is not aware of any other amp that Paul used that looked like this model.

The Fender Super Reverb Amplifier, issued in 1968, has a distinctive drip edge strip around the grill, and was one of the earliest non-weather strip models offered.

Paul Vaughn Butterfield (December 17, 1942 - May 4, 1987) was an American blues harmonica player, singer, and bandleader. After early training as a classical flutist, he developed an interest in blues harmonica. He explored the blues scene in his native Chicago, where he met Muddy Waters and other blues greats, who provided encouragement and opportunities for him to join in jam sessions. He soon began performing with fellow blues enthusiasts Nick Gravenites and Elvin Bishop.
