Can anyone tell me if on Vintage or modern amps whether or not the faceplates are glued on, or only held on by Pot, Jacks and pilot light nuts/washers?

On vintage amps and the re-issues, the faceplates are held in place via the retainer nuts of the input jacks and control pots, and the screws for the bright switches (if so equipped) and the pilot-lamp collar.

Thanks Arjay, I was concerned cause when I tap mine with my finger you can vaguely hear that it is loose against the chassis and is not bonded with glue, and I hear this only by the Fender Logo Script. But it makes sense now as the script is a large portion of faceplate that is not held down by a Nut/Screw.
