Hi Guys,

Some of you might recall i was in the market for a tweed blues junior here in the UK but was drawing a blank as to how i could get my hands on one. Turns out retailers in the UK got a batch of FSR's that were available over spring in the USA which is cool because the chocolate tweed is amongst it!

So ive pre ordered one but i read a press release saying that the amp is brown tolex and tweed vinyl and an online US listing saying it is real laquered tweed. Not sure id like it as much if it was a glossy vinyl!

Does anyone have a Chocolate tweed amp who can tell me which is correct? maybe post a real picture? Also, is it as orange as fender seem to depict it?

Cheers guys

This one:

Brown tolex and tweed. From the photo, the tweed is not laquered. Laquered tweed looks very different.

To tell you the truth, the one on the Fender site looks laquered:

The one on the Sweetwater site does not. That is what I meant when I said the laquered tweed looks very different from the unlaquered. Neither site says that the tweed is laquered, though.
