I only acquired this Princeton Reverb amp early in the new year but a recent purchase necessitates that I move this baby along. This was a limited version of the PR, featuring the larger Celestion G12 Greenback 12” speaker and swanky fawn-coloured Tolex with the cane grille cloth. Apparently, very few of these were made for the N. American market, so a pretty rare bird indeed. The description, main specs & features from Fender are captured below:
“Based on a historically significant amp used on countless hit songs for decades, the '65 Princeton Reverb is as phenomenal-looking, sounding and performing as ever. Versatile enough to go from the living room to the studio or a gig with the great sound, style, reliability and authentic vintage vibe, it's one of the coolest amps around, period. It's ideal for players who need top-notch tube sound, naturally dynamic clean and overdriven tones and unmistakable long-spring Fender reverb and tube vibrato.”
