1962 Fender Princeton 6G2 Brown
No Sales Tax For Customers Outside Of California.
Here is a 1962 Fender 6G2 Princeton that has seen a bit of beneficial service.
You'll notice a bit of a cosmetic issue, netting you a good deal versus others out there on the market. The amp was probably painted black at some point. Whatever paint was used was apparently pretty easy to remove, because it is nearly unnoticeable on the tolex, and whomever removed it did so without wearing out the grain of the brown covering. There are some places where you see it in the deeper pits of the material. It also shows on the grille, which honestly looks much worse in pictures than it does in person.
Plusses: The original transformers are present, as are most of the internal components. The bias cap is replaced - a key maintenance step. Two caps were updated, with the rest of the original, blue molded caps remaining. The filter cap can is a recent CE replacement.
A grounded power cable has been installed, along with an Alessandro replacement speaker that really holds up when you push the amp.
The rest of the amp is original and, despite the former black paint, the amp is in excellent overall condition.
Thanks to the maintenance, new speaker and presence of the original iron and caps, the tone is spectacular, especially when the tremolo is kicked in. The amp runs perfectly. We tested all the tubes to make sure they're good to go.
