The ghost of a 1946 Fender Princeton Woody, lovingly brought back to life with careful restoration and thoughtful enhancements. While retaining the original power and output transformers, valve enclosures, and selected original wiring, the amp has been meticulously rehoused in a beautifully handcrafted walnut cabinet by Cameron Walters.
Internally, the amplifier has seen a comprehensive refresh, with all capacitors, resistors, and potentiometers replaced to ensure optimal performance and reliability. Additionally, a robust industrial-grade step-down transformer (120v) has been professionally installed within the cabinet, providing safe and convenient operation.
Although the original speaker is no longer present, the amp now features a carefully selected vintage '50s Rola 10", perfectly complementing the Princeton’s iconic tonal character. The result is an amplifier that is remarkably dynamic, responsive, and expressive, truly capturing the classic Princeton spirit.
While this may seem like the Ship of Theseus in the form of an amplifier, it does combine authentic vintage elements with carefully chosen modern replacements, for a seriously great sounding combo.
