Very bad cab rattles and vibration.
The amp sounded good. I have a 65 reissue Princeton and it sounds quite different. The reverb is a bit more mellow and the tremolo is more intense. The tremolo is very good.
The problem is that the amp rattles and vibrates as soon as it is turned above 2 which is not loud at all. It appeared to be coming from the front baffle (which i've heard can often happen with Princeton's). I think the aluminium drip edge grill trim makes the rattle worse. Turning up the bass also made the rattle/vibration worse.
The reverb was also loose when i received it and i had to secure it properly. This caused the reverb to start feeding back even when it was at a low level.
A good sounding amp but the build quality is not acceptable for the price. There needs to be better quality control with these amps.

Fender 68 Custom Princeton Reverb...amazing
Fender Custom ?68 Princeton Reverb is a great amp.
It have classic sparkly Fender tone.
This amp have very nice sounding reverb and also very nice deep sounding vibrato, again classic Fender tone.
Amp is very loud, but capable for very nice fender clean tone on low volumes. It is very sensitive to guitar volume potentiometers and to different types of pick or finger attack. My amp break on volume of 5 with Les Paul with humbuckers, and maybe on 5.5 when played on telecaster single pickups. On this volumes amp is very loud. (Maybe not loud enough for some giging situations with heavy handed drummers and so)
It is very nice and musical type of break. Very natural!
Good with pedals, but Princeton's natural clean tone is
so good and I didnt try much with pedals
(litle bit with overdrive, ED-1 the compressor - nice results)
Amp is not heavy, lighter then ex. Blues Junior, so is very transportable. (it is too different type of amp to compare sounds, but from my point of view Princeton is much better.) 10" speaker is better then expected.
Low end of spectrum from this princeton is BIG.
In my situation is better with singlecoil pickups,
Princeton can play good with humbuckers just need
litle bit of experimenting with controls on amp and guitar.
I'm very satisfied, better word is I'm impressed with this
good looking silverface amp. 10/10
