    Blues Junior Series III Tweed/ LTD Edition confusion

    I'm aware Fender had been selling the series III Blues Junior Tweed w/Sparkle mod & Jensen speaker after the series IV was released. There is a model at Sweetwater now 03/23/2021 that looks exactly like it.

    I teach gtr at a music store & we just got in some Blues Juniors w/the Jensen speaker, chrome top & reversed control panel, just like the series III had. It does NOT say "series III" on the back of the amp; there's no model designation. It's not a series IV; the owner's manual says it's a "Limited Edition" Blues Junior. Does anyone have any idea what it is or how to correctly identify it? If it's a series III sparkle mod version, I want it, but I'm not sure what it is. Frustrating.

    There's a Blues Junior IV FSR Limited Edition (15w 1x12") for sale on Reverb. Is that it?

    I'm sure newer models have been upgraded based on Bill M's mods.

    It’s exactly the one I own.

    it’s the Blues Jr III covered in lacquered tweed with a “fat” switch (engages a bypass cathode cap) and a Jensen C12N speaker.

    I really like mine.
