Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? As far as amps go, it's hard to beat a Fender Twin. The '65 Fender Twin RI is solid as a rock and built to last. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I've owned this amp about a month and have put it through its paces with my band. Although I have a "backup" amp by default (just happen to have another amp), I have no doubts about its reliability. I would be comfortable gigging this without a backup. General Your general opinion of this product. I put off buying a Twin because of the cost. Now that I've taken the plunge and have one, I kick myself for waiting so long. I've been playing guitar for almost 50 years and have seen a lot of amps come and go from my stable. The '65 Twin RI is one of those rare amps that stand out fromn the others and is a bonafide "keeper". It is well built, solid, dependable and delivers the goods, at least for the type of music I play. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? This is a heavy amp. There is no getting around it. Too bad Fender doesn't build these with castors on them. However, I do have a collapsible dolly that makes moving thing a breeze. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? This amp is ideal for blues, garage band-era '50s and '60s rock, country and jazz. It is a maximum clean amp, as well. It just won't "break up" on its own. However, it does love and take pedals well, and I use a TubeScreamer when I want to get some light overdriven sounds from it. It has basic treble, middle and bass controls, and they are sensitive to adjustments. Add some of the built-in, tube driven tremolo and tank reverb and you have a killer classic amp. I'm not a huge effects guy but I have found that I've had to use an EQ pedal to fatten things up a bit with just about every other amp I've owned. Not so with the Twin. It's great to just plug a guitar (Strat or Les Paul) straight into the amp and leave the pedals packed away. Some folks will say this amp is not built for metal. perhaps, but I think it could be adapted with a good distortion or overdrive pedal. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Fit and finish are flawless. Action How was the action out of the box? N/A -- It's not a guitar, but a guitar amp.
