Bay Area Vintage Guitars is pleased to offer this 1973–1974 Fender Deluxe Reverb, a fantastic player-grade, workhorse example from the early CBS silverface era, professionally updated and sounding excellent.
This amp retains its original silverface chassis and rear panel, with a blackface-style front control panel added for classic looks. It is represented honestly as an early-’70s Deluxe Reverb, not a factory blackface amp.
