Hey guys. Keep your eyes peeled for an early 60's brownface Princeton if you will. It would be most appreciated.

There was one for sale about 5 years ago in Oxford, MS at a little consignment shop for $699. I should have picked it up but I was in school and not working at the time so I just didn't have the scratch. I'll keep an eye out for ya.

I figured $1000-$1100 would be about going price. Just a year ago you'd see them everywhere for $900. Now, they hardly even show up on eBay.

HA!

$1300 to 1700 is the going rate today...it might drop down again soon but I wouldn't bank on it...I wish I'd bought one when they were $600.

If you want the tone (or very close to the tone) and can live with the tremolo look into the Port City Twelve amp...it's more or less a brown Princeton in a 1x12 combo set up w/o tremolo and an added deep switch on the face that gives it a little more thump at low volumes.

Stock they have a Mojotone greenback clone and sound rather nice...nice tag board construction just like a vintage Fender and quality parts. They run about $1200 new and I;ve seen the combo (there is also a head) for less than a grand used...

I'm walking distance from Norman's Rare Guitars. I'll go in and smack him around for ya. Maybe he'll come down to $1100.

Norman gets the best of the best. He's got a 65 Super Reverb down there that looks like he just pulled it out of the box in 65.
