I found this exact same amp in my fathers home after his death. It works amazingly well. I would grade as in very good condition. Could you tell me who might be able to give me a ballpark figure on the value.
hi don, i,m a player for your amp at 15k cash 541 660 5668 thanks john
i would call keith richards manager or John Mayers. i am sure you must know but your amp is like the most valuable fender amp of all time. congrats, your pops had good tone 🙂
J. Bonamassa is also a huge Fender Twin guy, and is approachable sort of. Or at least as approachable, as the pursuit of a vintage Fender amp makes him…ha!
Fender just come out with Joe Bonamassa’s Signature Tweed Twin Narror Panel March 2019.
I will pay 18,000 to 22,000. Thank you
