Joe Bonamassa continues his appreciation of the Fender Twin, reveals a striking, translucent version made of Lucite in “world first”.

Bonamassa has often spoken of his love for Fender’s legendary “high powered” ’59 tweed Twin-Amp. Last March he launched his own limited edition reissue of the amp – the ’59 JB Edition – making it the first time Fender had released a high powered tweed twin model in 60 years.

Much like Bonamassa’s Twin, this Lucite amp has two 12″ Celestion JB-85 speakers, however, its other specifications remain unknown.

The Lucite amp recalls a prototype Lucite Stratocaster made by Fender back in 1961, which weighed 18lb (around 8 kg), more than double a normal Strat. The Lucite Twin-Amp would boast a similarly heavy weight, and Bonamassa joined in with some of the commenters on his post joking about this, also describing his plans to add LEDs to the amp.Lucite Fender-TwinIn the post, Bonamassa thanked Fender for their help on the project, describing it as: “The world’s first and possibly only Fender high power Twin Amp in lucite.”
