Fender Princeton Reverb AA-764 Model Tube Amplifier (1967), made in Fullerton, California, serial # A-16029, black tolex covering finish.

Overall this is one of the cleanest and most stunningly well-preserved example we've ever had of one of the hottest amps going today, vintage or modern, the black-panel Fender Princeton Reverb. The combination of clean, crunch and natural overdrive this model offers perfectly suits the modern world's lower volume requirements, and they always sound great in any context. The mid-60s Princeton came as a Reverb and non-Reverb model, both featuring a single-channel layout with two instrument inputs. A dual 6V6-power section into a 10" speaker puts out around 10-12 watts of power. The Reverb-equipped model offers earlier clipping and more overall preamp saturation, due to the additional circuitry of the onboard effect. These are truly excellent gigging amplifiers and work perfectly as a stand-alone amp, as well as a pedal platform for the modern stylist.

Height is 16 in. (40.6 cm.), 20 in. (50.8 cm.) width, and 9 1/4 in. (23.5 cm.) deep.

This is a lovely original CBS-era amp in absolutely fabulous cosmetic condition. The tube chart reads "QF" which indicates assembly in June of 1967. The back panel logo reads "Fender Musical Instruments", generally considered the first mark of a CBS unit. The Tolex is amazingly clean and virtually free of any notable wear, save for one small spot of wear on one of the rear corners. The grille cloth is taut and in phenomenal shape, with no punctures or tears. The plastic Fender logo is present and beautifully preserved as well. The chassis straps and handle hardware are equally shiny with virtually no signs of corrosion. The front control panel is very clean overall with all the original knobs present and nicely intact. The amp comes with a newer Fender-branded cover.

Internally this amp is all original. The original 10" ceramic Jensen speaker bears the code 220-618, dating it to the 18th week of 1966. The power, output and reverb transformers are all original and marked 606-639, 831-6720, and 606-715, dating them to the 39th week of 1966 and 20th and 15th weeks of 1967, respectively. Visible pot codes all date to '66 as well. The amp has seen our typical servicing and maintenance, including replacement of all electrolytic capacitors, install of a 3-prong grounded power cord, cleaning of all sockets, pots and jacks and biased to spec.

This is a great sounding and growly Princeton Reverb; a truly spectacular example of our single most in-demand amplifier. Excellent + Condition.
