Back in the early part of this century, Fender did a run that caught a lot of attention - they took their best-selling amp and beat it up.  That's how this 2004 Fender Blues Junior Relic came to be.

The Blues Junior has been a staple in Fender's lineup for years and is one of (if not THE) best selling tube amps in the world.  For this special run iteration, it comes in lacquered tweed that has been aged to look like an amp from many decades ago.  It's not just that - they also put in a Jensen P-12N, which is a higher-wattage, bigger-magnet Alnico speaker, which was already a popular aftermarket upgrade that players made.  It handles clean headroom and warmth differently than the regular speaker.  You a a tighter low end, richer midrange presence, and more clean volume before natural speaker compression sets in.  The result is a more robust voice and 

This amps is suprising powerful and usable in a variety of settings, at 15 watts (all-tube), and loaded with three 12AX7 preamp tubes and a pair of EL84 power tubes.  Since 2004 falls into the pre-2010 "Blues Junior II" production era featuring the classic warm grind, onboard spring reverb, and a foot-switchable FAT boost.

The amp is in great shape, considering the intent (relic wear, stains, dings, and aged grille cloth).  It's in perfect working order and ready to go!
