Model 26 Deluxe "Woodie
The early Fender guitar amplifiers, including the Princeton, Model 26 Deluxe, and Professional, marked a significant evolution in Fender's amplifier design and construction. Introduced in the spring of 1946, these models represented a notable improvement over their predecessors from the K&F era.
Design and Construction
The trio of amplifiers were built with elegant hardwood cabinets, which later inspired the nickname "Woodie" among collectors. These cabinets came in three finishes:
- Gleaming blonde maple
- Black walnut
- Dark mahogany
The amplifiers featured plush grille cloths in red, blue, and yellow/gold, with matching material on the rear lower back panel. A distinctive design element was the three metal strips running vertically over the speaker opening, adding a touch of "flash and brilliance" to their appearance.
Model 26 Deluxe Model Specifications
The Deluxe, also known as "Model 26," was the mid-range option:
- Featured a single 10" Jensen field-coil speaker (later replaced with permanent magnet speakers)
- 14-watt design with five tubes
- Three input jacks: two for instruments, one for microphone
- Rear-mounted control panel with Fender lightning-bolt logo
- Controls: instrument volume, microphone volume, and tone (which also served as the on/off switch)
Early versions of the Deluxe had no circuit board, with components directly connected. Turret Circuit boards were introduced in 1947.
The "Woodie" era was relatively short-lived, lasting only about a year and a half. By the summer of 1948, the Deluxe was upgraded to the new tweed-covered TV-front style, along with other improvements. These early models, particularly the Deluxe, laid the foundation for some of Fender's most acclaimed and popular amplifiers in the years to come
Note: From Serial number ~400 the phase inverter tube 6SN7 was replaced with a 6N7. From Seria lnumber ~800 the preamp tube 6SN7 was replaced with a 6SC7.
