Anyone have a blackface super reverb faceplate template?

Post by beasleybodyshop »

Does anyone have one? Ive seen one for a princeton reverb, just wondering if anyone has seen one for a blackface super.

Since Fender is still making these amps in there repo line you can go to a official Fender repair shop and order up a new one. I think the only difference is the plate is drilled out for smaller pot shafts and need to be inlarged for standard 3/8 shank pots.

They won't 'just' sell you a face plate. They won't just sell you a neck either. You have to have serial numbers and a busted trade.

I blackfaced my Super Reverb cosmetically and electronically. I ended up buying a RI faceplace from the local Craigslist. In addition to the smaller hole diameters for the pots (not really a problem), the paint has more shine to it than my original blackface amps. Still not really a problem, but if you want original, original, there is a difference.

I also restored a vintage 65 twin and a 73 Bassman 100. I was able to find both of those faceplates on eBay. Both looked original.

I was looking for a jpeg image I could use in a vector program like inkscape to lasercut myown. I suppose I could just take a few super high quality photos and carefully paste/scale it together, but its as laborsome as it sounds.

Antique electronics may still have stock of some, I would check them.
