Fender Deluxe Reverb (1965)
Vintage
A great 60s Deluxe Reverb needs no introduction - it's the 1x12 combo by which many are measured by.
Fantastic sounding 1965 Fender Deluxe Reverb just in! This is a great example of the first full production year of the Blackface model, finished off in October of that year based on the 'OJ' stamp on the tube chart.With the exception of a replaced grill cloth and speaker, it's all there! It features all of the original transformers and reverb tank, critical components for retaining a lot of that original 60s tone and response.
It was recently serviced by Boston area amp tech Stan Day, who also installed the grill cloth. A few tired tubes were replaced and it's sounding stronger than ever. The Eminence provides plenty of headroom with some added low end punch thanks to the larger magnet.
A Fender-branded slipcover is included with the sale.
