1964 Fender 6G2 Princeton just in!

This is a very clean, original example of the transitional 6G2 circuit that originally debuted in 1961 with the introduction of Fender's Brown amp lineup. As Fender integrated their "Blackface" aesthetic at the beginning of 1964, they often combined elements of prior year details with new looks. Dubbed the "Tuxedo" look, these early '64 builds - Princeton and Bassman, for example - had black tolex cabinets, black faceplates, but white knobs often seen on early 60s amps.

This Princeton was completed in the Spring of 1964 and has remained in wonderful condition ever since. It retains its original transformers throughout, along with a serviced but non-modified circuit that delivers on the classic Brown-Era Princeton tone. Lush, bias-vary tremolo compliments the sweet low volume cleans, while pushing the volume and tone controls to their limits reveals an almost Marshall-like roar.

The amp is loaded with a strong set of NOS tubes and a fantastic sounding Alesssandro GA10-SC64 ceramic speaker, making it a perfect plug-and-play vintage Fender.
