Feature:
Fender/Diaz and vibrato are least useful. Everything else is good. Parts are o.k. but Fender should have used better parts such as caps etc...considering the nearly boutique selling price.

Quality:
Fender Custom shop has great Quality Control by todays standard which would translate to average for the early to mid-1960's. Should last decades with some T.L.C.

Value:
Selling price in today's dollar comparable to selling price in 1960's dollars.

Desirability:
Practical addition

Sound:
This authentic AB763 circuit produces the rich classic Blackface tone through a fairly good Eminence speaker. Additional Diaz mod. is o.k. but not necessary. Stock 6L6 power tubes sound fine but install some good n.o.s. 12ax7/at7 in the pre-amp for better tone. Vibrato is weak like the original. A quality JBL D130 speaker clone would make it hard to beat.

Support:
No problems so far.

Overall:
The tonal characteristics of the the B.F. AB763 circuit through a 15 inch speaker is the reason I bought it. I would buy it again. I have owned and played through many pro amps. The only other amp I would like to have instead would be a new Standel with JBL D130.

Feature:
Has everything you need. No onbaord effects, but for what it's designed to do you really don't need anything other than reverb.

Quality:
Built like you'd expect from Fender--well made cab, no rattles.

Value:
A little pricey, but considering what a vintage one costs, plus the modification costs--it's worth every penney.

Desirability:
It's cool looking--everyone of my guitar buddies' eyes lit up when they saw it.

Sound:
SRV tone to the max! Very touch dynamic, really makes my Strat my favorite axe. A definite Blues machine.

Support:
Haven't needed to use, but I called once about biasing for tubes--courteous and friendly.

Overall:
Great amp--I run a multi-amp setup, and it blends easily with my '57 Bassman. I run a THD HotPlate with it to quiet it down in my house--works great. I also run a Vibratone cab with it...SRV sound without a doubt.
