2022 Fender 64 Custom Deluxe Reverb Hand Wired - Black
Description
No sales tax for US customers outside California.
The hand-wired Deluxe Reverb that serious players had been asking Fender for since the original run ended in the 1960s — and when they finally built it, they got it right. The '64 Custom Deluxe Reverb is the AB763 blackface circuit on a hand-wired turret board, in a solid pine cabinet, with Pure Vintage Blue Tone capacitors reverse-engineered from the original Astron Blue Ajax units. Two meaningful improvements over the original: reverb and bias-modulated tremolo available on both channels, and the Bright and Normal channels voiced differently for more sparkle and warmth respectively. Premier Guitar gave it a Gear Award. Guitar World called it an instant classic. This 2022 example is the real thing.
We've done shootouts between these hand-wired reissue amps and the real deal, and these do come pretty darn close. As these age and the speakers wear in, I'm betting they're going to sound better and better.
Condition
This amp has been squirreled away - it is showroom clean. It still has the point-of-sale card on the top, and the original cover and footswitch are included. Everything works perfectly. We tested all the tubes too, just to make sure it shows up and is ready to go for you.
Excerpts from real online user forums and reviews
"The hand-wired Fender '64 Custom Deluxe Reverb is, without a doubt, an instant classic with authentic blackface tone and upgraded components — the quintessential amp to own for the next 50 years." — Guitar World
"A smashing success, nailing the magical paradox players seek in vintage amps: fantastic touch sensitivity married to an addicting, lived-in feel. It delivers vintage-vibed goods and sensible mods in spades." — Premier Guitar
"Side by side comparisons to other Deluxe Reverbs is almost embarrassing. The Hand Wired Deluxe leaves them in the dust. Turn it up to 5 and the Stones riffs come out. Dime it and you've got real killer OD tones." — Strat-Talk Forum
"Sounds fantastic especially with my Strat, Tele and P90 LP. Really rich — like a bass player joining along with a nice sparkle on the Bright channel. Loud too, and the vibrato is superb despite it not being something I typically use." — Marshall Amp Forum
"I've never played an amp with such amazing dynamic response to how I manipulate the instrument. '64 DR plus Tele bridge pickup equals magic." — Sweetwater Verified Customer Review
The hand-wired Deluxe Reverb Fender should have been building all along — 20 watts of AB763 blackface tone in a solid pine cab, bias tremolo and reverb on both channels. Ships securely packed with full insurance.
