Vintage 1973 Fender Princeton Reverb Guitar Amp Combo

From the pivotal year of 1973, we just scored this vintage Fender Princeton Reverb.  It's an absolute legendary amp that began its debut in the tweed era and continues to today. This one comes to us from the original Silverface era.  Over the years, it was put to good use, just as it should have been.  Some may say that it has the touch of a world that is older.  Some will say that's just how it should be.

This is a 12-watt, 6V6 powered amp that gives you enough power for the stage and is also the perfect studio amp.  When it came in, we plugged in and were immediately blown away.  It delivers sweet sparkly tones that Princeton Reverbs are known for. This era of this amp gives you a set of one 7025, two 12AX7s, and one 12AT7 preamp tubes.  This one has a replaced tube rectifier with a solid state version. You get a great clean tone that can give a little breakup when cranked up, and it will really soak up pedals well. It has the classic controls with Volume, Bass and Treble. 

You can hear the rhythms of the music, and in this case, the tones of a Princeton Reverb.  Of course, the world knows the sound, as this model is prized for the lush reverb and sweet sounding vibrato.  You can easily dial in your favorite settings with a reverb control knob and controls for the speed and intensity of the vibrato.  If you dig the classic sound of Fender reverb, this is it.

This one has the original 10" Jensen speaker.  There are some modifications to this amp which include a modern AC cord, a replaced volume knob and as stated above the solid state rectifier.  As for the condition, it shows some real evidence of being on the road and utilized extensively (see photos).  Considering its age and history as a gigging amp, it's not bad.  What's important is that the amp has lasted this long.  And, it's not just working but also sounds amazing.  

A vintage 1973 Princeton Reverb like this is a great find.  This one is ready for you to answer the Call of the West.
