I have owned a 1965 non-reverb Princeton for over 35 years. It's dead stock. In all those years it's needed only a couple of tubes and a new wall plug.
I always wished it could growl, but it never really did with my old 335 and old Gretsch. It had a beautiful crisp tone, but no real "growl." However, about a year ago, I purchased a Texas model Highway One Telecaster. This is the model with the very hot pickups (that some love and some hate). The Texas tele and my old Princeton are a match made in Heaven. With volume cranked, that setup produces the most fantastic warm distortion I believe I've heard. The Princeton allows the Texas to give a range of tone that some have stated is not possible with this guitar. Fender knew what they were doing with the Texas model after all ...they must have had an old Princeton around.
My Princeton is not for sale. Ever.
