Hi everyone, just bought a used Fender Blues Deluxe in tweed from Guitar Guitar.  

Have contacted Fender UK to date the amp, based on the serial number but they said pre late 90’s their records are “Sketchy” at best

With that in mind, are their any Amp/Fender Guru’s on here that could lay my curiosity to rest ????

The serial number is as follows..

T - 062655


Thanks in advance for your help

    You can date it conclusively from the date codes on various components - transformers, pots and some caps, and the speaker if it's original. The transformers are hard to get to without taking the chassis out, but most of the rest can be got to quite easily, at worst by taking the back panel off. If the speaker is an Eminence it will have a paper label on the edge of the magnet.

    Are there any letters or numbers written on the tube location sticker on the inside of the cabinet?
