I have a 57 deluxe 2007 black lacquer limited edition amp.
I noticed that one of the metal tube covers is very difficult to get on and off. It looks like it wasn't crimped the exact correct way at the factory.

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement. Do any fender reps on this forum know if fender would have one?


Thanks.

Thanks but they don't have the correct one.

I believe it's the same one for the fender 57 deluxe but chromed.

I'll give fender a call this am and see what they say.

Check Mojotone's catalog. They offer a variety of tube shields -- some plated, some anodized in "designer" colors.

I contacted fender and they gave me a part number of 0073691000.

They said to call a local service center which i did but they said they don't get parts and referred me to another local store. I called them and they are checking on getting the part.

This should be a warranty covered item as it is a manufacturing defect but i don't know how to get it covered since the service center doesn't get parts.

Any ideas? Anyone else at fender i should talk to?

Thanks.

A "local service center" that neither stocks nor orders parts???

Really......!

Just what do they "service" and how precisely is that accomplished?

:shock:

Isn't the warranty only 5 years?

My mistake, It's from 2007 not 1997.

I'm going to try to put the correct "bend" in the shield myself tonight. My friend has orthodontic pliers that should be able to do this.

I found what looks like the exact part on an ebay auction so that if i'm unsuccessful i may just get one there. It seems like you can't get the part from fender.

This is what it looks like by the way:

you can see the outward crimp or bow on the bottom.
