The first of several expected silverface models from the late '60s has arrived. Using the basic chassis architecture from the hugely popular '65 re-issue blackface models currently in production, no expense has been spared to re-create the visual vibe of the CBS era right down to the "PATENT PENDING" tilt-back legs and the special run of reproduction JBL speakers with the Fender-specific orange labels. Even the tube chart and the transitional black footswitch reflect period-correct authenticity that immortalized these beauties from Fender's halcyon days when nothing was too bold to try.

This particular prototype is an upgraded Deluxe Reverb that improves on the already potent DRRI platform by substituting the stock speaker in favor of a 15-inch driver. For a size comparison, it's shown with an original Deluxe Reverb Amp from 1968.

The waiting line forms to the right......

Nice, just what the doctor ordered..
Actually, I'm on the hunt for a silverface deluxe reverb,
Had a question, were they made after 1980 or is that the last
Year.

I have always been more of a Tweed Deluxe kind of guy tone wise when it came to Deluxes, but that right there is a thing of True Beauty...and if it is getting a thumbs up tone wise from Arjay, must be awesome 8)

Maybe it is time I tried one of these out and see if can unseat my Super Reverb from it's number 1 spot :wink: Well done :mrgreen:
