Fender Princeton Reverb (1978)
Vintage
With its inherent tonality maintained since 1964, this late CBS era Princeton Reverb sounds as good as ever, and still proves that this amp remains one of the most versatile low wattage combos in the history of electric guitar amplification.
What To Know
A simply wonderful sounding example of a late CBS era Princeton Reverb. Built in 1978, it features the newly adapted Pull Gain boost on the volume control, but remains an otherwise faithful example of the 1970s circuit variation.The amp was recently gone through and received a 3-prong cable along with a recap and some general TLC. It sounds fantastic with its original Fender-labeled 10" speaker, and has been kept in excellent condition for nearly 45 years.
