1957 Fender Princeton
A beautiful tweed amp from their golden era of amplifier production, this 1957 Fender Princeton 5F2-A boasts a beautifully age-darkened lacquered-tweed covering with minimal wear and tear. With its original handle, grille cloth, and hardware, all of which are nicely preserved, this amplifier presents wonderfully.
Among the finest sounding tweed Princetons that we've had come through our shop, this 1957 build delivers a truly remarkable voice that responds incredibly well to any pickup you could think to plug into it. With the volume at 3 and below, the amp delivers a rich and clean response that will give hints of a breakup with a hot humbucker or P-90 fed into the front end. As you roll the volume past 4 the amp begins to bloom with creamy and full-bodied drive tones.
This amplifier is largely original. A replaced output transformer and '60s Jensen speaker make it a bit more affordable than one that’s unmodified.
