looks interesting.

octatonic

Looks cool but it is £2k.
That is fucking insane for a non vintage Princeton.
It is insane for a vintage Princeton really.

jacksparrow

Yes Agreed on price but it is nice to see fender making stuff like this.

octatonic

Yeah absolutely.

soma1975

£2,000 for less features than the £1,000 version. 

Modulus_Amps

When it is not a mass produced item it is going to be expensive, sounds cool.

Yup- so something to pick up for £7-900 in 2 years time, after it has changed hands a couple of times and someone else has lost most of the money.

I had a couple of originals, they are great.

But....... the brown 6G3 Deluxe is the one they should have done. Amazing amps.

At these prices though, l would commission a custom build.

Having just hardwired my own amp I totally understand why it costs so much more than a machine-populated PCB amp.

Not making a judgement on whether it's worth it, but I *totally* understand the extra care and man-hours needed. I would want that sort of money to make one for someone! 

darcym

buy Rift.

RiftAmps

Love that they’ve finally reissued the 6G2, but a shame that it took an artist to finally persuade F to do it.

Your money will be better spent at @RiftAmps . Handmade in the UK with more custom choices available.

I seriously doubt that.
