Hey Kenny, Are you referring to the new Vibro-King Custom that list for $4,999.99? Thanks, J.R.

Kenny, I haven't spoken to him in a while. Looks like a Fender Steel King.

In the earlier shows I believe it was an HR Deville, 2x12, rather than the HR Deluxe. In size ( width) it looks to be exactly like my HR Deville with the nametag centered at the top. The HR Deville is an excellent amp for mid sized rooms and really has a great bright tone with a strong bottom end, but you can't push them too far. The HR Deluxe on the other hand ( much narrower) suffers greatly with the Steel for any sort of clean volume, early break up...but it is a 40 watt amp with a single 12 , great for a 6 stringer...

This new season Gary has a different amp off to his left... Personally I didn't take notice...Fender did just introduce several new amps, maybe it's one of those...

Some kind of Fender. Not a Vibro King, no white knobs. Not a Steel King, cabinet more square than rectangular. Any more guesses?

It's a Fender Steel King. I just heard from Gary.

Looking forward to hearing and visiting with Gary in a couple weeks here in Florida when Connie is in town for a show...
