For sale from Metz Music is this very early Blackface Princeton Reverb from 1965. The tube chart is stamped OJ, dating the amp to October of 1965, and the chassis and transformer date codes are consistent with that production timeframe.

This is a great example of Fender's "Holy Grail" amplifier and retains a substantial amount of its original circuitry and vintage components.

The chassis has the original-style black eyelet board, cloth-covered wiring, carbon-composition resistors, blue molded Mallory capacitors and other period-correct components. The amp has been serviced over its lifetime, as would be expected for a working 60+ year old amplifier.

  • Original 1965 cab and chassis
  • Original AA764 Tube Chart, stamped OJ
  • Vintage Schumacher transformers
  • Output transformer appears original
  • Reverb transformer appears original
  • Power transformer has been replaced
  • Speaker is a replacement
  • Much of the original cloth wiring and signal-board components are original
  • Some components have been replaced/serviced over the years.

This amp is not being represented as completely original or untouched, but it is a very clean and 100% working example of a very early Fender Princeton Reverb with many of its original components intact.

Cosmetically, it shows the wear expected from a genuine 1965 amplifier. The cabinet, hardware and chassis have plenty of vintage patina.

Everything on the amp works great and it sounds incredible!

The Princeton Reverb has become a favorite for live and studio use. Please ask any questions you may have.

This amp will ship professionally packaged and fully insured.

At Metz Music we appreciate your patronage!
