Wait. I forgot. Did i mention

I’d kill for an original brown tolex or silverface Princeton. I used to have a 1968 Super that sounded glorious. Old Princetons are selling for crazy money now, wish I had picked one up 10 years ago.

I’ve played many versions of the Fender Princeton from originals to the new ones. They’re my absolute favorite guitar amp. The $999 Fender 1965 remake version is my personal favorite. Obviously I’d love an original 1965, but with reality in mind. I think it’s the best price point. There was the ‘68 2nd reissue for a few hundred dollars less, but I think it skips out on the chorus effect and also wasn’t built as well. You can definitely buy these used and save some money. If you know how to retube and bias an amp even better. Hope you find one that you’re looking for!

What an amazing Tele to learn on. As @xtcclassic says, Tele's are so versatile and you cannot beat the classic Blackguard Butterscotch Blonde.
I have recently got back into playing so, today, with 3 nippers and wife all out, I plugged in

Speaking of Tele’s, here’s mine. It started its life as a butterscotch ‘52 reissue.

Love it, @xtcclassic ! Did you do the artwork yourself ?

@Fadez @mikebarhoot thanks for the recs guys, will check some out when the stores are open again!

Deluxe Reverb is my go-to Fender amp. I've got a silverface one that is my main amp, I think it's a '76. I've had Princeton's in the past and have loved them, but prefer my Deluxe Reverb. Reissues of the Deluxe aren't bad, but you can get a 70's one for just a little more than what they cost new.

No, a buddy of mine did it. Here’s a bit more info if you’re interested: http://tonguesofflame.blogspot.com/2006/07/tongues-of-flame-1-san-miguelback.html
He recently went back over it and darkened the front and some of the back.

I was thinking about getting the Deluxe Reverb Tonemaster which has a built-in attenuator so you can get close sounds at lower volumes without waking up the neighbours.
I don't play live so the real thing would probs be over kill!
-
You can’t beat a real tube amp. If you’re looking for a Fender that’s manageable at home, have you looked at the ‘68 Custom Vibro Champ? Or the ‘68 Custom Princeton Reverb?
-
For home use you can't go wrong with a Fender Blues Junior - even better if a friendly amp guy can rustle up some handmade atttenuation!
-
@xtcclassic @IH-GARY thank you! The Princeton 68 had been on my radar for a while. I will just be patient and test a few when the rules allow.
That amp looks awesome, never seen a handmade attenuator like that!

Fender have just released a new 68 Custom Vibro Champ which I've seen pretty good reviews for. Looks small enough for my living room too!
@theorocks crazy setup!
