nice. If it's 3/4 as good as a Fender Pro Junior, then it will be awesome. If it's the same thing as the Pro Junior, then they're not so dumb either.

I got my original one on Ebay for half of what they're asking for the new ones.

I have a gibson goldtone 15RV and it totally rocks.

If this is the little brother, i bet it rocks as well.

I love the fender pro junior, so I am with rodgre on this one for sure.

Let us know if anyone gets one.

(and owns a champ, a pro junior, and a supro 8" combo to compare it to...)

Please do!

I love the editorial version of gear reviews. Opinion is a funny thing, because it doesnt even have to be based on fact by its very nature, to be valid!

Dunno if this is made in america, or by commies.... (any other country on earth).

Why would that stop you?

Ignorance can be a powerful tool when speculating....
