What years were the Fender Steel King in production? Thanks!

2004-2008 I believe. I bought a JazzKing and later traded it in when the new SteelKings came out. Still have it, great amp for solid state and something geared for pedal steel.

Be sure to get the Fork Lift option!

Someday, amp manufacturers will figure out that an ordinary combo amp cabinet doesn't have to be heavy, and doesn't have to be built out of 3/4" wood. $:\$

With respect Donny,
TELONICS did that a number of years ago.
Cheers,

My Quilter Travis Toy model is 27lbs - that's 200 watt amp, speaker and cabinet.

I believe the Steel King and Jazz King are nearly the same amps. The Steel king is rated at 200 watts with a 4 ohm speaker and the Jazz King is rated at 140 watts with an 8 ohm speaker. I have owned both and they are very nice amps.

I installed SICA Neo speakers in my two main amplifiers.

The Fender Steel King (with casters) now weighs 49 pounds.

The Evans FET-500LV (large cabinet) (with casters) weighs 51 pounds.

For comparison, a Peavey Nashville 112, with the stock speaker, weighs 43 pounds.
