Hi guys,

The amp is a Blues Junior with serial number B-180472 and Type PR 295. It has a Jensen special design speaker in it.

I was trying to use the serial number lookup at http://guitardaterproject.org/fender.aspx but it can't seem to find it.

Wikipedia says (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Blues_Junior) that the Jenson C12N is on the NOS but I don't see NOS written anywhere on it.

I have 5 images here - https://plus.google.com/photos/11733997 ... 6743399057

I purchased it from a musician friend of mine about 5 years ago but I don't know much about it.

Thanks for any feedback!

Fender has issued many special additions, usually for specific dealers, of its amps over the years. All came with a better speaker than the stock version. Other then the different speaker and cover material (and higher price), there is nothing different about the amp itself. This is the NOS version:

It also has the same Jensen speaker.

Thanks for replying. I spoke with a Steve at Fender today and he looked up the serial number. He said it was "technically" a Blues Junior II and was manufactured in September of 2003. He didn't mention the NOS version. Are you suggesting that this is the NOS version or just that it is the same guts as the NOS version?

Thanks again

Reread my post. The amp you have is NOT the NOS version. I posted a link to the NOS version. Your amp is one of many special editions of the BJr that Fender has made over the years. The NOS version is one of those special editions. All special editions differ from the regular black tolex BJr in covering and speaker type only.

Thanks a bunch for clarifying, this is very helpful information!
