...and no, this thread is not about making your boat fenders louder. :)
My son Tyler is looking at a used guitar amplifier, a Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue 40W 1x12" Combo Amp.
Details, specs, etc. found here:

I'd like to ask our musician-types if they have any comments on this amp. What to look for when he goes to test it, how to tell if anything is wrong with it, approximate worth, or any other tips/advice you can think of.
He is also going to look at an Epiphone Dot ES-335 semi-hollow body guitar.
Same questions apply...guitar linked here:

Barry Eller got us started in the right direction (thanks again, Barry!), and this amp and guitar are both on craigslist, somewhat nearby.
My son is a college kid, loves music, but is only just starting to accumulate some better quality equipment. His tastes vary, but he tends towards folk, blues, alt-country, and some older rock standbys. He's been a trained drummer since 12 years old, but about 6 years ago picked up an interest in keyboard and guitar.
Thanks for any help or thoughts!
