Fender '68 Custom
Princeton Reverb Guitar
Combo Amplifier

Johnny K on the '68 Silverface Princeton

With the '68 Silverface Princeton, it's a small tight speaker. It's not moving a ton of air. It just stays tight, but it's creating this great low end. I've used it on the Disturbed record in the song 'Down With The Sickness.'

$1,199.99

Fender '68 Custom
Deluxe Reverb Guitar
Combo Amplifier

Johnny K on the '68 Silverface Deluxe

The '68 Deluxe Silverface is one of my favorite amps, and I think it's a studio necessity. I think you need that amp when you want a crunchy, but tight rhythm.

Fender '68 Custom
Twin Reverb Guitar
Combo Amplifier

Johnny K on the '68 Silverface Twin

I think every time I layer a track with this Fender Twin, it just seems to grow wider. The '68 is a little more solid than the old one that I have. It's more versatile for sure - I'll probably be using that one in place of my dear old life-long buddy, the original Fender Twin.
