I purchased it at the Dallas Guitar Festival this weekend and I’ve been playing it through my 1968 Deluxe Reverb. It’s extremely clean and plays great.
The female lead singer in our band only wants to do songs in the key of the original recording. Her latest three songs are in Gb. She also wants to reduce the time between songs when we play live.
In order to play in Gb, I have to capo the second fret. When I do that, my tuning goes sharp and...
The ‘64 Custom Deluxe has a Jensen C12Q speaker, which is lighter and less expensive than the Jensen C12K in the ‘65 Reissue Deluxe. This is all I know about those speakers.
What other characteristics make them suitable for that particular amp design?
It’s the real deal; reverb and vibrato (tremolo) on both channels. It is quieter and weighs 10 pounds less than my ‘65 Reissue. And the standby switch doesn’t “pop.” Nice job, Fender. (And Happy Birthday to me.)
Switching this amp to standby (down) will produce an annoying “pop.” I have also read the article that Sweetwater has on their site explaining why this is “normal.” I have also read that Fender has warned that fixing it would void the warranty.
Nevertheless, it is annoying and I would like...
I have this speaker in a 1968 Deluxe Reverb. I have heard of the Oxford C12K-5 model, but the second “12” in the model throws me. Does anyone know what that means?
Here is the label from the back.
Thank you for your time.
I love Deluxe Reverb amps. I have a 65 DRRI, a black Tone Master, a blonde Tone Master, a Dr Z-Lux, and a real 1968 Deluxe Reverb.
I have an opportunity to buy a used 64 Custom Deluxe for $1,800 or a new Vintage 22 for $1,895.
I can’t try either out before I buy. I’m concerned about reports...
I have a 1968 Deluxe Reverb that I put corners on in 1972. I’m trying to restore the amp to original, but I can’t remember what kind of glides were on it before I did that.
The new 65 Reissue Deluxe Amps have the press-on glide cups and the 64 Custom Deluxe Amps have the Sphinx Glides that...
I’m still bonding with it but so far, so good. The best feature is the soft V neck. I could do without the relic treatment, but somehow, that’s kind of cool. More later.
Last weekend, I traded a 65 Reissue Super Reverb for a Tonemaster Deluxe Reverb. I gigged it with my country band last night. It was amazing. I took a 65 Reissue Deluxe for a back up amp, but never used it. Our band is miked through the PA and I just plugged into the XLR in the back of the...
