  • Bemerkung

  • 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.

    Princeton Model Specifications

    The Princeton was the smallest of the three models, designed for practice and small performances.

    It was a very simple setup with two inputs, no tone knob, and one gain knob with the on/off switch located within the knob. This was the entry-level Fender amp out of three available at the time.
