The listing
For your consideration is a stunningly well-preserved, highly original 1966 Fender Blackface Princeton Reverb. This amplifier is a true time-capsule piece, retaining the foundational components that vintage purists and serious collectors look for when investing in investment-grade Blackface tone. Circuit & Authenticity: The tube chart features the highly sought-after, famous factory typo "AA764" label (signifying the early-to-mid 1966 production transition ere before the AA1164 chart reprint). Inside the chassis, the circuit board is exceptionally clean and retains its coveted, original "Blue Molded" Astron tone capacitors. These legendary caps are intact and responsible for the signature clear highs and beautifully scooped midrange that defined the golden era of Fender amplifiers.
