Hi all,

I've just bought a second hand HR DeVille and first of all what a beautiful amp!! I've finally got that Fender tone at long last!

Anyway the guy I bought it off told me he was familiar with its history as he knows and has played with several previous owners and he estimated it at about 4-5 years old. So when I got home the first thing I noticed was "Made In USA" on the metal plaque on the back of it. Now to my knowledge production of these amps went to Mexico in the early 2000's (i'm not totally sure). So i checked out how to date the amp from the Fender website but the handwritten letters on the QA label read "CC" which would date this amp at Feb 1992!! Now to my knowledge (again i could be wrong) these amps didn't exist in 1992.

I would really appreciate if anybody could help me here and fill in some of the gaps in knowledge (or point me somewhere with a history of these amps).

Do I have a genuine American made HR and is it really from 1992?

Thanks for reading,

Ok after some more research I've come to the conclusion that it definitely isn't from 1992. Big surprise there.

Is there any other way of dating this amp maybe from the pcb or somewhere. Did the mexican made HRDevilles have "Made in USA" too?
