Sweetwater-exclusive Tweed Princeton
The Fender '65 Princeton Reverb guitar tube combo amplifier in Lacquered Tweed is only available at Sweetwater! Fender used the beloved '65 Princeton Reverb as a starting point, then the brand added a beautiful and vintage-style lacquered tweed covering that will transport you back to the great Fenders of the 1960s. The speaker has been beefed up to a 12-inch Eminence Cannabis Rex for its blend of smoothness and sparkle. And of course, you still have that magnificent Fender spring reverb and tremolo onboard. The '65 Princeton Reverb will add a lot to any collection.

A legendary amplifier design
When Fender originally released the Princeton guitar amplifier, the brand's intent was to offer a good practice amplifier for guitarists needing to work on their chops. But the model quickly caught on with professional and gigging guitarists for how effortlessly it delivered both chiming cleans and sweet tube-amp breakup. Whether speaking about the original tweed designs in the 1950s or the iconic black-panel models of the '60s, the Princeton has been a mainstay with players for over 50 years.
Vintage-inspired look
This Sweetwater-exclusive Fender '65 Princeton Reverb blends elements of two of the most sought-after eras of the combo. While the circuitry is based on the clear-as-a-bell black-panel models, these amps boast a stunning lacquered tweed covering that imparts a '50s old-school appearance. And Fender's vintage-style brown and gold grille cloth helps finish off the look. If you've always loved the tonal characteristics of a Fender black-panel amp but favor the warm, inviting look of a tweed, this amp's for you.
Same iconic tone, just bigger
The amplifier's appearance isn't the only new addition to this '65 Princeton Reverb. Fender also outfitted this little giant with a 12-inch Eminence Cannabis Rex speaker. Not only does a larger speaker (original Princeton Reverbs come with a 10-inch speaker) offer a more powerful low end and better projection, but the Cannabis Rex is a favorite among Sweetwater's vintage amp players for how clear and chiming its top end is, without ever being strident. And the traditional Fender spring reverb and tremolo add all the swampy goodness these amps are known for.
