Fender 62 Princeton Chris Stapleton Edition Combo

Available from Gear4Music at £2,349.00 ($2,983).

Painstakingly true to the original. The Fender 62 Princeton Chris Stapleton Edition Combo has been made to exact specifications. Only being made by Fender for a short while and never reissued this brownface Princeton is unlike the tweed and black panel models sitting between the two but with a warmer woodier tone. Voiced beautifully to begin with the Princeton doesnt need much attention. You get a tone and a volume with the other two knobs dedicated to speed and intensity of the tube tremolo and its enough to make any guitar sing. Throwing a Telecaster at it and turning the volume up brings the Princeton to life giving rich harmonics touch sensitivity with strong bite and rich sustain - thanks to pushing those 6V6s. Fender took to remodelling the cab exactly the same as they were originally using finger jointed solid pine which gives the speaker a solid resonant cabinet from which it blooms. Like Chris Stapletons original 62 Princeton the speaker was upgraded from a 10" to a 12" and Emminence recreated this perfectly. The Princeton even includes the vintage blue Fender caps of the day - and of course it is point to point wired just like they used to be.
