Description
A vintage 1960 narrow panel tweed Fender Princeton in very nice condition with a couple of changes. The Fender name plate is non-original. In addition, someone has enlarged the baffle speaker cutout and replaced the original speaker with a early 10" Jensen PM10 alnico. This speaker change really pushes this amp to the next level--without any of the boxiness that you associate with an 8-inch speaker. The super-vintage PM10C gives the amp a great bottom end plus the extended yet smooth top end that only a high-quality vintage alnico speaker can give you. This amp has been cleaned, serviced, and is fully functional. It is, without a doubt, the best-sounding tweed Princeton we've ever had.
