1965 Fender Princeton Reverb Amp – Blackface
We present an original 1965 Fender Princeton Reverb Amp – Blackface. Made in Fullerton, California.
The Blackface Fender Princeton Reverb is one of the crown jewels of mid-’60s combo amps. This classic amp added a tube-driven reverb circuit to the popular Princeton student combo and has remained one of the most widely used recording amps since its introduction in 1964.
The original Fender Oxford speaker has been reconed, so it sounds perfect. All transformers are original, including the reverb unit. The circuit itself is in excellent working order and has been serviced with some new capacitors, resistors, and tubes to ensure perfect performance. It has also been updated with a new three-pronged power cable.
The amp is definitely in the “great condition” category in terms of cosmetics. The metal on the chassis and elsewhere still retains its original factory shine with very little patina. The grill cloth is also in great shape, with some minor nicks and dings. The tolex is in exceptionally fine condition, with no significant wear or tear. It even comes complete with its original footswitch and a newer cable.
The original tube chart is also present and very clean, with crisp corners and a hand-inked serial number.
To keep it as original as possible, you’ll need a step-down transformer. We have these in stock and they can be purchased through Guitar Hunter.
