surfing through my local craigslist, i came across a mysterious listing, a realy beat up fender strat for 50 bucks. the seller apparently does not know anything about fenders, 'cause she calls the amp a "cute yellow speaker." i am curious though, because she says it is marked "fender electric instrument co.", which was the name of fender a long time ago. could this be a beat up old gem and perhaps an old fender tweed amp or something?

Upon zooming into the picture, if it is vintage it looks like a 59 sunburst that has been badly re-finished in red some years ago. I could be wrong though im in no way familiar with such instruments.

Hey for $50 bucks...I'd buy it. Heck I might even throw in the other $50 to see what kind of "yellow speaker" that is. Worse case senerio it isn't in playable condition. I could still do something with it.

I actually think it is somethiing like that!! I googled fender yellow amp and a 51 fender champ 600 showed up along with a 60 super champ :shock: if it is one of those and you get it for 50 bucks that will probably be the most INSANE deal I will ever see in my life :D
