The Fender '65 Princeton Reverb Chilewich Charcoal electric guitar tube combo amplifier is a Fender limited edition Factory Special Run! Fender used the beloved '65 Princeton Reverb as a starting point, then they added a beautiful and vintage-style Chilewich Charcoal covering that will transport you back to the great Fenders of the 1950s. The speaker has been beefed up to a 12" Celestion G12M Creamback for its classic British tone. And of course you still have that magnificent Fender spring reverb and tremolo onboard. The '65 Princeton Reverb Chilewich Charcoal will add a lot to any collection.

A legendary amplifier design

When Fender originally released their Princeton guitar amplifier, their intent was to offer a good practice amplifier for guitarists needing to work on their chops. But the model quickly caught on with professional and gigging guitarists for how effortlessly it delivered both chiming cleans and sweet tube-amp breakup. Whether speaking about the original tweed designs in the 1950s or the iconic Blackface models of the '60s, the Princeton has been a mainstay with players for over 50 years.

Vintage-inspired look

The Fender limited edition Factory Special Run blends elements of two of the most sought-after eras of the combo. While the circuitry is based on the clear-as-a-bell Blackface models, these amps boast a stunning chilewich charcoal covering that imparts a '50s old-school appearance. And Fender's vintage-style black grille cloth helps finish off the look. If you've always loved the tonal characteristics of a Fender Blackface but favor a look that is totally unique, this amp's for you.

Same iconic tone, just bigger

The amplifier's appearance isn't the only new addition to the '65 Princeton Reverb Chilewich Charcoal. Fender also outfitted this little giant with a 12" Celestion G12M Creamback speaker. Not only does a larger speaker (original Princeton Reverbs come with a 10" speaker) offer a more powerful low end and better projection, but the Celestion G12M Creamback gives you classic British tone, with increased power handling for today's powerhouse amps. With its warmth and distinctive growl, the G12M-65 serves up the essence of British guitar tone, with low end grunt complementing its warm mids, crunchy upper-mids and sweet highs. And the traditional Fender spring reverb and tremolo add all the swampy goodness these amps are known for.

What Fender Says...

A historically significant amp used on countless hit songs for decades. Today, the '65 Princeton Reverb is as phenomenal looking, sounding and performing as ever, and is easily versatile enough to go from the living room to the recording studio to the gig with the great sound, style, reliability and authentic vintage vibe that Fender players know and love. One of the coolest amps around, period, it's ideal for anyone who demands top-notch tube tone, naturally dynamic clean and overdriven sound, and unmistakable long-spring Fender reverb and tube vibrato.

Tube Circuitry
