1964 Fender Princeton Reverb AA764

For your consideration, Garrett Park Guitars presents this 1964 Fender Princeton Reverb AA764, a classic small-format tube amp from Fender’s golden era. Introduced in 1964, the Princeton Reverb quickly became known for its crystal-clear clean tones, lush spring reverb, and smooth, musical tremolo, making it a favorite among studio musicians, gigging players, and collectors alike.

This particular amp comes from the owner of a local recording studio, where it was meticulously cared for in a clean, controlled environment. It delivers exceptionally dynamic and responsive tone, reacting beautifully to pick attack and fingerstyle playing. The spring reverb adds depth and shimmer without ever becoming harsh, while the tremolo remains fluid and musical. From sparkling, articulate cleans to rich, harmonically complex driven tones, this Princeton Reverb offers the full expressive range that makes vintage Fender amps so coveted.

Originality and condition are superb. The AA764 circuit, transformers, and controls are original, with all pots and switches working smoothly. The 10" Jensen speaker (220441) is original, in excellent condition, and has never been reconed. In 2023, all electrolytic capacitors were professionally replaced to ensure reliability and optimal performance. The cabinet and Tolex show only minor wear consistent with age, with no rips, repairs, or structural issues, and the grill cloth is intact with only light fraying typical of a vintage amp. Aside from the replacement tubes, all other components remain original.

This 1964 Princeton Reverb is a rare opportunity for the collector seeking a pristine, well-maintained example or the player in search of a highly expressive, studio-ready vintage Fender amp.
