Huw tackles the restoration of a 5F2 Fender Princeton dated July 1957, with some cosmetic repairs a capacitor health check and component swaps where necessary. This amp turned out to be a real gem, offering sparkling clean tones as well as smooth tweedy overdrive. It’s more like a scaled down 5E3 Deluxe than an upscaled 5F1 Champ.
