We just picked up a beautiful collection of vintage Fender amps and this Bonamassa '59 Tweed Twin followed us home as well. The original owner had Joe sign the amplifier at the meet and greet so its Bonamassa approved. This is serial number JB0095 of the limited run of 150 amplifiers. The metal shield for the power tubes has been removed due to a rattle but we have the shield and it'll be included. We will ship the amp in its original double boxed shipping material with its cover and owners manual. Just know if you pull the trigger on this amp you're buying a pro piece of gear and this thing just roars with tone!
