Fender Pro Junior IV (Lacquered Tweed)
Fender · amplifier
The Fender Pro Junior IV (Lacquered Tweed) is the fourth generation of Fender's Pro Junior single-ended tube combo, a 15-watt EL84-powered amp, finished in a period-styled lacquered tweed covering rather than the standard black tolex. It carries the same simple, dynamic tube circuit the Pro Junior line is known for, dressed in a vintage-inspired aesthetic.
