I'm thinking of doing the same, Paul and Mitch. There's an ex rock band guitarist (played with Skyhooks for a couple of years) very near to me who does private tutoring. All I'll need is a cortisone injection in my left thumb every few months!! | ||

Mitch, what you have is the Model 110. It's just about the same thing as mine, but fitted with a 10 inch speaker, versus my Model 120 with a 12 inch speaker. Probably puts out the same wattage, whatever it is. There's a neat litle section on www.jt30.com about Premier amps. There should be a link to click on the website. | ||

BTW, Mitch, I read you traded 3 amps for the Premier? Mind I say, I hope those 3 amps weren't worth too much, because you should be able to score a Premier without alot of cash by all means. | ||

Hi Rob thanks for the info.I think my amp is a Premier 120 because that is what it says on the nameplate.The 3 amps I traded weren't worth much(maybe $150-$200 for the bunch)Is the Premier worth less than that?  | ||

I would say you did well. $250 is about right for one in really nice shape. There's another Model 120 at a store by me that's much nicer than mine, and the owner is asking around $275 or so. I thought yours was a Model 110 because it looks like it could be a tad bit smaller than mine, plus the back panel is totally different than mine (compare it to my pics). Yours probably is a Model 120, but a different year. I date coded my pots to late 1954, and maybe yours is around 1956 or so. That's great to see you still have the original speaker cloth with the harp logo on it. Of course, mine didn't come with any speakercloth, so I used speakercloth made by Fender. I would imagine the doorstop footswitch activates the tremolo? If it works, how does it sound? My tremolo hasn't worked in years. | ||
