1957 FenderPrinceton – Tweed


If you’re looking for vintage gain in a smaller package, this 1957 Fender Princeton is the one for you! This amp has been well maintained over its long life, with a new speaker, full capacitor replacement, and 3-prong cord conversion. Despite this, the sound of this amp is simply incredible, with channel 1 providing a gritty, over-the-top distortion while channel 2 has a slightly darker and warmer tone. With a P-90 or humbucker and the volume set anywhere higher than 3, this amp sizzles! 

Overall Condition: 7.5, wear and patina to tweed
