Fender FSR '68 Custom Princeton Reverb, Surf Green Overview

Fender '68 Custom Princeton Reverb Product Overview by GAK

The '68 custom Princeton Reverb from Fender takes a vintage amplifier and drags into the modern age. It still has that classic Fender tone and look, but the modified tone circuit is perfect for modern players.

The amp's reduced negative feedback helps to provide improved touch sensitive and more responsive overdrive. There is a single 10" G10 speaker on board for that classic Rock and Roll sound.

Looks wise the amp has a Silver and Turquoise front panel combined with a Wheat grille clothe trim.


Fender Product Overview

1968 was a transitional year for Fender amps, with tone that was still pure Fender but a look that was brand new. With a silver-and-turquoise front panel and classy aluminium "drip edge" grille cloth trim, the Princeton Reverb received a fresh new face as it remained the perfect recording and gigging amp. Small, light and moderately powered, it produced big tube tone, with world-class Fender reverb and vibrato effects. For countless guitarists ever since, the Princeton Reverb has been the go-to amp for classic Fender sound.

The '68 Custom Princeton Reverb Amp pays tribute to the classic look, sound and performance of Fender's late-'60s "silverface" amps. In a special twist, a modified tone circuit gives modern players greater tonal flexibility with pedals, and the amp's reduced negative feedback gives greater touch sensitivity and quicker onset of overdrive. The '68 Custom Princeton Reverb's single 10" Celestion G10 speaker also delivers a more distinctively rock 'n' roll flavour.

Amazing amp. I bought it to compliment the Fender 65 Princeton that I own. It gets more distorted when cranked and the Celestion Greenback 10" speaker is a vast improvement on the standard speaker. I owned the standard 65 Princeton and sold it because it was too flubby on the bass. I wished that I'd kept it and changed the speaked. This surf green model looks amazing and sounds amazing too!
