Yes Bob, it is the new 12".
It sounds incredible and it's a light weight, very easy to carry. You will enjoy it.

...far be from me to dampen the mood here, but curiosity has gotten the best of me. What is the deal on the lower right corner of the picture? Is it supposed to be a different color or is that possibly damage to that section of the amp?

I have no doubt it is a killer amp but I have to ask, sorry.

not sure what you are seeing, but maybe its something happening with your monitor? I do not see any discoloration on my end - I took that photo - I will note that I am not a photographer :)

Glad you are digging the amp! I am really proud of how the Half and Half turned out, especially the 12" combo version. You will not find anything lighter or more powerful with real tubes and great tone on the market.

Enjoy!

Tim, not trying to disparage your amp at all but this is what is showing on my end:

It could be something on the Forum end, I don't know, but I know I'm not seeing things.

DG,
You are seeing a reflection in the highly polished metal corner guard.

yeah - thats a nickel corner which protects the amp from whatever you bump into while carrying it.

You can see the reflection of my stock shelves in the corner.

upon close inspection, the original picture posted is actually a 20W Creamer with similar cosmetics. Here are some pictures of the actual 300W 12" combo:
