Fender press release
Fender have released ‘Special Run´ versions of two of their most famous tube combos, the ‘65 Princeton® Reverb, in a range of cool colours and with a variety of speaker upgrades, and a Deluxe Reverb® with mahogany cabinet and cane grill cloth. Very limited numbers will be available in the UK.
The ‘65 Princeton® Reverb “Surf-Tone Green” FSR (pictured) is the perfect combination of retro styling and modern scream!
This Limited Edition Two-Tone FSR in Surf Green and Hot White harkens back to a 60s vibe while the warm midrange breakup of a Celestion® Greenback G10 speaker adds a slightly more aggresive feel. It´s the perfect amp for small gigs that need a little extra growl and punch. The original was a historically significant amp used on countless hits over the years, and the reissue ´65 Princeton® Reverb is easily versatile enough to go from the living room to the recording studio to the small gig. It has the vintage vibe that Fender® die-hards know and love, but the ´65 Princeton Reverb isn´t only for those who played them 30 or 40 years ago - it´s for anybody who demands top-notch tube tone, naturally dynamic clean and overdriven tones, and unmistakable long-spring Fender reverb and tube vibrato.

The full, snappy guitar tones heard on many famous recordings from Memphis to Abbey Road were made using the Deluxe™ amp.
