The Fender Custom Shop has announced its new “80 Proof” Blues Junior guitar amp.
Like a 23-year aged whiskey, the venerable Fender “80 Proof” Blues Junior has only improved with age. Hand-aged in the Fender Custom Shop, this limited-edition version of the 15-watt wonder is encased in a cabinet lovingly handcrafted from reclaimed Kentucky-bourbon barrels that feature distinct stamps and markings from various source distilleries—no two are alike.
It creates a warm, smoky visual appeal certain to deliver that Fender quality craftsmanship but also a unique design aesthetic.
Full of vintage mojo and silky smooth classic Fender tone, matching hand-aged components also enhance the cabinet, crafting a highly collectible and boutique piece that is limited to only 100 units worldwide. When warmed up, the amp even exudes a whiskey aroma!

- * Limited-edition 15-watt combo
- * Solid oak cabinet crafted from reclaimed whiskey barrels
- * One 12” 8-ohm Jensen speaker
- * Three 12AX7 preamp tubes and two EL84 power tubes
