Very nice, but I don't think I'd ever be able to convince my stupid brain that it isn't an acoustic amp. Brown tolex means acoustic amp.
I totally appreciate that sentiment - I used to have an Acoustasonic amp about 12 years ago.
I have a huge nerd passion for Fender guitar and amp history. In particular, my favorite period is 1960 - 1963, the brownface era. I was lucky enough to own for a time a '60 Fender Vibrasonic (15" JBL D-130 speaker / 50 watts). I had to sell it last January.
I was hoping to find an early '60s Princeton but the prices have been skyrockteting for anything vintage Fender lately, so I had my sights set on the Princeton Chris Stapleton Signature. Then I came to grips with the fact that my '64 Princeton covers that territory (with a larger, 12" speaker, too).
I decided to get a Princeton Reverb with a 10" speaker - even though I've been gravitating more and more to my reverb pedals for the variety of tonal options, I might find a reasonably priced PR that I'll get on with aesthetically. I was on the lookout for a '65 reissue blonde FSR or the Fudge Brown, which is basically what I found and preferred over the blonde. That it was only $750 was just too good to pass up.
