Joe Bonamassa unveiled his latest piece of Fender signature gear – the "Bludgeon" signature '51 Nocaster – just last month, but evidently, he's got another Fender project in the works: the 1948 Fender Dual Professional JB Edition guitar amplifier.
A few days ago, the blues guitar maestro took to Instagram to give fans a sneak peek of the amp's sounds, using – rather than one of his numerous signature guitars – a headless Kiesel for the tonal workout.
In the video's caption, he noted the “73 years of design [that] separates the guitar and the amp.”
“Thank you Jeff [Kiesel] for this very generous birthday gift,” he continued. “I am playing through the prototype of the 1948 Fender Dual Professional JB Edition that was brilliantly recreated by [Fender's] Stan Cotey.
“The amps are going into production later this year. Enjoy, hopefully more than my Laurel Canyon neighbors did for the last minute.”
We still have no release date or further specs for the 1948 Fender Dual Professional JB Edition amp, but we'll let you know as soon as we learn more.
