- Jeff Owens. The Woodies: A History of Fender's First Amps. (fender.com). Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. (Archived 2024-02-21 at the Wayback Machine)"[image] All Fender amps trace their lineage to three “woodie” models of 1946—the original Princeton, Deluxe (also called “Model 26”) and Professional. The amps appeared in spring of that year, almost immediately after Fender was formed on the dissolution of its short-lived predecessor, the K&F Manufacturing Corp. They were the immediate successors of the small, nameless K&F amps of 1945, and were designed for use with Fender’s early steel guitars. A notable step up in design and construction, they were built with hardwood cabinets that eventually provided their nickname (Fender didn’t call them “woodies” at the time; that name came later, from collectors). ",
" That was the original Princeton ... its next significantly different iteration appeared in 1948, when it was redesigned as a tweed-covered “TV-front” model. ",
" By summer 1948, the Deluxe was upgraded to the new tweed-covered TV-front style, along with a larger speaker, revamped circuitry and other features. ",
" The woodie Professional also appears to have been upgraded to the tweed-covered TV-front style earlier than the Princeton and Deluxe woodie models; this took place circa mid 1947. "
