GuitarsandGardens.com Fender Harvard Vintage Guitar Amplifier

This is a 1960 Fender Harvard Guitar amplifier sold through our ebay store 2 years ago. These Tweed amps are pretty rare and real hard to find. At about 10 watts through a 10" speaker these bridged the gap between Princeton and Deluxe Amps. If you can find one they'll generally run $1500-$2k. These have the tone that the boutique builders emulate, don't let the price put you off if you find one and can afford it.

You can see all of our inventory currently available at our various on line sales outlets through our  GuitarsandGardens.com web site.

Creeping charlie (sometimes spelled "creeping charley"), or ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea) is an aromatic, perennial, evergreen creeper, of the mint family that thrives particularly in moist shady areas, although it will also take some sun. Native to Europe, creeping charlie has naturalized in North America; it is widely encountered in most regions of the U.S. except for the Rocky Mountain states
Creeping charlie's medicinal qualities have been known since at least the days of ancient Greece and Rome. Galen, for instance, recommended creeping charlie for inflamed eyes, and English herbalist, John Gerard (1545-1607) recommends ground ivy for ringing in the ears, according to Botanical.com, "A Modern Herbal." The same source reports the medicinal properties of ground ivy as being "diuretic, astringent, tonic and gently stimulant. Useful in kidney diseases and for indigestion
