I was thinking the other day and thought that what if fender created a handwired series for the amplifiers and brought back some old amps and made the way they should be. So fender could bring back like the bassman (combo and head), Twin Reverb, Super Reverb, Bandmaster, Vibroverb (2x10 and 1x15 versions), Deluxe Reverb, Princetons, so on so forth. Post any other classic amps that i might be missing but i think that would be a great idea for fender. If they can put out an eric clapton twin model then who knows what else they can do?

Fender already sells most of the ones you mention, only using PCBs. A fully hand wired version like the 57 Twin would cost at least twice as much as the PCB version. Very small market so not really worth it as far as Fender is concerned. People are already complaining about the latest price increases on the PCB based reissues.
