Fender Princeton Model 6G2 Model Tube Amplifier (1962), made in Fullerton, California, brown tolex covering finish.
This is a good player's example of one of our favorite amps -- the "brownface" Fender Princeton. These re-designed tolex-covered amps were Fender's new line of the early 1960's, standing between the earlier rampaging tweed era and the louder or somewhat cleaner blackface amps that followed, with some of the tonal characteristics of both. The faceplate layout is simple, with two inputs, tone, volume, and trem speed and depth controls. The transformers are dated '61; the amp dates to early '62. As cool an amp as was ever made, simple, and to many players in this less-loud age the perfect combination of tone and portability.
Height is 17 in. (43.2 cm.), 18 in. (45.7 cm.) width, and 8 3/4 in. (22.2 cm.) in depth at deepest point.
Some average wear overall; a typical re-cap job and 3-prong added. This baffle-board looks to have been re-covered with the correct style material, and the speaker is not original but a good sounding if fairly generic replacement. Overall a nice gigging example of this perfectly-sized tone monster. Very Good + Condition.
