This is a well-made 5E3 Tweed Deluxe clone with some enhancements to suit the modern player. Here's what the manufacturer has to say about it:"The Journeyman carries Fender's early Deluxe amplifiers to new heights of brilliant clean tones without sacrificing all of the grit the vintage tweeds deliver. More headroom than a 5E3, although still a hotrod. Expect unmatched touch sensitivity coupled with bell-like cleans not found elsewhere. A hand-wired masterpiece for tone enthusiasts! Home, studio, stage."
