Fender 2024 '65 Handwired Princeton Reverb Limited Edition Wine Red, Excellent

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

This Fender 2024 1965 Princeton Reverb Limited Edition in wine red is in excellent condition.  The original circuit board, power transformer, and output transformer were removed and a full, handwired circuit was installed by my friend and longtime amp tech, Pat Miller.

This is a 2024 limited edition reissue of the 1965 Princeton Reverb, but it's been taken a significant step further with a full 1965-style hand-wired rewire. Mercury Magnetics power and output transformers were installed (models FBTPP-M and FBFPO-S respectively), and the Schumacher reverb transformer is original to the rewire. The Jensen P12Q 12" speaker, date-coded to week 35 of 2023, is original and in excellent shape. The amp sounds better through my Two Rock bench cabinet - I think the Jensen speaker hasn't been broken in yet and it sounds bright.  At 12 watts with a GZ34 rectifier and a pair of Tung Sol 6V6s, this thing is set up to deliver the classic blackface Princeton Reverb sound with better-than-stock iron.

Everything cosmetic and structural is original and unmodified — wine red tolex, wheat grille, birch/pine multi-ply cabinet and baffle, chassis, knobs, and rubber handle all check out original and excellent. The internal work is the only departure from stock: the power and output transformers are Mercury Magnetics replacements (non-original), and the amp received a full handwire rewire with filter caps replaced as part of that work. No other repairs or changes to note. The amp is dated 31 May 2024 per a sticker in the cab and the serial number. No smells.

The Fender cover (Fender-branded) is in mint condition and included, as is the original footswitch pedal, also mint. No documentation included.
