nice thread. I love all blonde fenders, blackface and brownface. I have a blackface bandmaster from 64. I think that a blackface tremolux will be my next purchase, in blonde of course. can you point me out to where you got the pic of the tremolux which has the $1000 price on it. I had that site as a bookmark but lost it. thanks a bunch. ill post a pic of my bandmaster in here soon.

I like blonde Fenders a lot too. I like the transitional ones the most I think. My Bandmaster is a '64 with the nromal (not flat) logo.

I'm not entirely sure where I got it from...I think it was an FDP member's Guitar Show pics...it's a pretty old pic too...I think that show was 3-4 years ago....

Ah... The vaguaries of vintage Fenders never ceases to confuse me!  :-[ So I assume the browns are pre-blackface? Are blondes special editions then?

Blondes and Browns are the same era, the Brownface.  Brown tolex for combos, blonde for head and cabs.

:o  That's like 1.21 gigawatts of Fender tone!  Would you need a lightening rod to power that beast up?

i think blonde/sparkley wheat is the most beautiful thing fender has ever done.

i dream about tremolux piggy back combos.
