No Sales Tax For Customers Outside Of California.
This beautiful 1966 Fender Princeton Reverb has all the good stuff: original transformers, original Jensen speaker, and a full compliment of vintage tubes. The original footswitch is also included. The cabinet is marked with the initials of Sam Hutton (the grease paint $ on the inside, bottom panel).
The amp has been serviced, featuring professional installation of the filter capacitor, the electrolytic bypass caps, the bias cap, and one coupling cap. The power cable has been upgraded to a grounded replacement. A bias potentiometer was installed, not invasively.
The 1966 Fender Princeton Reverb Black Panel is a sought-after vintage tube amp that delivers legendary Fender clean tones, lush spring reverb, and warm tube-driven tremolo in a compact and portable combo format. With its original AA764 circuit, vintage Jensen speaker, and classic blackface cosmetics, this amp embodies the golden era of Fender amplification.
Producing approximately 12–15 watts of all-tube power through a single 10" speaker, the Princeton Reverb is ideal for studio recording, home practice, and small club gigs. It responds beautifully to pedals and guitar dynamics, offering sparkling cleans and smooth, organic breakup when pushed. Collectors and players alike prize these amps for their tone, vintage authenticity, and build quality.

Shipping policy:
When you purchase this item you are hereby agreeing to this shipping policy. We remove tubes from amps that could be damaged in shipping. These cases result in multiple box shipments, and they require the buyer to do some assembly on delivery. We do this because we have experienced shipping issues in the past, and this is our prevention measure. Vintage amps are sold as-is because they can need service intermittently. Everything is tested here in our shop on the way into our inventory, and again before shipping. We will cover shipping damage, but we cannot be responsible for the failure of vintage components in 20-to-50-plus year old amps. Shipments will require signature on delivery, no exceptions. If there is damage, the buyer must retain all packing materials intact and picture them immediately and send them to sales@maharsvintageguitars.com. Less than 1% of our shipments are damaged in transit, and we are committed to making sure your item arrives safely, but we are taking these additional measures to make sure you are happy with your purchase.
Buyer to pay prior to shipment via Paypal, wire transfer, credit card or other electronic means. Payment must clear before shipping. Certified checks and trades are accepted, however checks must clear before we will ship and trades must be received here and evaluated prior to shipment of our item.
All orders ship within three business days of the receipt of an order, usually faster. Tracking information will be automatically forwarded to all buyers. Buyers must retain all shipping materials in the event a return is necessary.
Returns accepted if the purchaser responds within 48 hours of receipt of an item and there is a discrepancy relating to the condition or originality of an item. Returns are not accepted for items that do not meet the needs or sonic tastes of clients due to the subjective nature, unless such concern is stated prior to the purchase. Any return for reasons other than incorrect advertising of condition or originality on the part of Mahar's Vintage Guitars shall be the responsibility of the buyer, which shall result in the buyer paying all shipping costs (to and from) their location.
