This is what happens when you go to Winter NAMM with your friend slash band mate slash guy who owns guitar store in town

"I found your tele!"
"I don't really need any new guitars"
"But its Fiesta Red. and they have every color! I'm getting green!"
"I guess we can do a chistmas card...how much?"
"x"
"but when?"
"oh not for months"
"ok sure... what a cool thing!"

It got to August and part of me was hoping it would never happen as I'd have to pony up the money... so I walk in to the shop randomly last week and he surprised me with it.

for what its worth-- they both sound incredible. the guitar sounds and plays great and the amp sound CRAZY good. and they match. and a fiesta red champ that is reliced? well you either think that is cool as hell or the stupidest thing ever-- BIG AL I KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS!

i have them next to my bed. this is a happy thing!

Let's all hate on Pellman for a while. Matching amps and guitars? Damn, I can't even get my underoos right! When I can find a clean pair. Though I was never a Champ fan I'd take that one. Course I'd shoehorn a 15" JBL in it somehow.

no don't hate me!

ha funny you mention the speaker-

one thing that is very cool about that champ, besides the fact that its aged and matches the guitar is it has a 10" Greenback in it-- not the normal 8"

its magic, man, I"m tellin ya!

I took some more pics of the little amp-- I mean Ch-AMP!

here's a closeup of some of the relic stuff

now REN-- if you want to join me in the fun here is your chance. I saw on reverb there is one in Olympic White

I'm guessing there are only going to be a handful of these if not just one in each color in existence-- what was there at NAMM. Mine was the one on display at NAMM and the olympic white one was from namm. looking at my original picture that means there is just the other colors. I have been told that the custom shop also puts one amp out a day.

do it! someone do it!

lots more Deets on the guitar too. it is a GREAT TELE. The 59 esquire c neck is JUST RIGHT. the neck pup is sexy and just right and the bridge is a based off broadcaster so its not too harsh.

no don't hate me! I tried to reply but somehow didn't go through?

the champ is awesome. and it has a 10" greenback as the normal is an 8. maybe that's why its so good.

more pics of the little beast

detail of the relic job. very cool cracking

now! I think there are only a handful of these things as I think it was kind of a display thing for NAMM or there weren't that many orders. maybe only one or two of each color. incidentally there is an olympic white pair (same as mine from Namm) on reverb right now

I also was told that the fender custom shop puts out about 1 amp a day.... so these amps are rare. my wife would laugh as I often will say "this is very rare".... well it is!

the guitar is GREAT too. 59 esquire neck, great handwound PUPS.... you can see more details about it on the reverb ad for the olympic white .... mine is just the red one.

somebody join me in the fun! come on!
