I picked up this amp recently and would love to get some help from the community regarding what it is. There is a concert ticket taped to the top. I can’t find anything like this online at all. Here is link to the photos. Thank you!!

You might have better luck getting an answer by posting the link in the Modern Amp forum. The amp is not vintage.

Cool little amp.
I suspect it is a Blues Junior, pics of the panel and back would help.
Be careful of that handle... they are prone to breaking out on the ends.

Possibly a CS LE or an FSR model, I suspect the back panel would answer most of any questions.
But it's definitely not a vintage amp.

Sure is not.

It is a current product IMO , I remember seeing it in one of my Fender Frontline 15 years ago ?

The art doesn't look like any kind of special run or anything from Fender to me. It looks like someone with some talent used markers to add the graphic. It doesn't appear to be signed. I doubt it adds any value without at least knowing the name of the artist.

I have seen images of similar BJ's. That doesn't mean that it is factory-original though, could be a custom job by a boutique shop.

It just doesn't make sense. Obviously they would never have people hand-painting amps. So that would mean it would have to be a print. But that doesn't look like a print to me. It looks drawn on. Pics could be deceiving though.

Ummm, look at how lumpy the red leatherette is.

Look at the ragged holes in the leatherette where the baffle mounting screws are. (It kinda looks like the baffle screws are under the leatherette and poked through it at some point.)

Look at the glue residue along the edges.

Look at how wavy, poorly stretched the grille cloth is.

I don't remember Fender ever making a Magnatone/Aloha/Oahu-inspired FSR. But even if they did, this one is home-done. Poorly home-done.

(The graphic on the grille is pretty well done though.)
