Hey, on ebay I found this amp for $825, and, although it is ebay and the thought of this amp is cool, I'm not sure that it's legitimately fender. He calls it a "FENDER SUPER-SONIC CUSTOM HEAD TUBE AMP W/REVERB!!*USA*."

the amp will be up until the 18th, so

http://cgi.ebay.com/FENDER-SUPER-SONIC- ... 3efaf98592

If you don't see the amp before it's taken down ,it's a tall super-sonic head with the 3-button footwsitch, with black grille-cloth, as found on the FM series.

If it is legitimate, does anyone know where I can find one of these new?

Fender has been making the super-sonic since early 2006:

That amp on ebay is simply the combo, which comes with reverb, converted into a head. Fender didn't add reverb into the super-sonic head's version because they wanted to retain the look and size of the Fender heads from the 60's (Bassman & Showman). Adding reverb within the size of a classic fender head would have been too noisy due to the proximity of the reverb tank to the chassis & tubes. That combo-converted-to-head on ebay may actually be noisy when the reverb is turned on.....it would be a risk to buy that in my opinion.
