yeah, i saw him. No signs of Josh K though he seemed to be there. Maybe in the live songs?

Ed looks like shit.

He kind of does!

The cap and goatee not doing him many favours here.

Botox and daily drinking probably doesn't help either.

Ed rocking some Fender Deluxe or hot rods of sorts.

They look very much like the 50s tweed Deluxes and Twin set-up he's been using for years, usually two Deluxes either side with the Twin in the middle:



However, they're not his old ones. To begin with, they're obviously new and covered in black tolex and he's also dropped the second Deluxe.

There's also a small badge in the bottom right corner of the Deluxe - interesting, it's in the exact same place as the "Tonemaster" badge on Fender's current digital amp range. That said, there is no Tonemaster version of the tweed Deluxe (or any tweed amp) in the current range.

A few possibilities:

1. Ed had Fender knock up a few new tweed Deluxe and Twin reissues for him but in black tolex for this tour (maybe doesn't want to bring the old ones on the road anymore).

2. Fender are bringing out some new Tonemaster tweed amps and threw Ed a few prototypes to try out. Not convinced about this necessarily, as Fender would almost certainly stick with the traditional aesthetics if that were the case.

3. Similar to The Edge's signature tweed Deluxe, maybe Fender are bringing out a Vedder signature in the near-ish future and these are instead prototypes of that?

I'm thinking 1 is most likely.
