Nash Guitars S63 | Feat. R2R Electric Time-O-Lite Fuzz & ‘66 Fender Princeton Reverb
Warm. Blooming. Alive. The R2R Electric x Waterslide Time-O-Lite Fuzz meets a Nash Guitars S63 and a vintage 1966 Fender Princeton Reverb. Welcome back to Edge of Breakup.
The Nash Guitars S63 — Lollar Vintage Blonde (Neck + Middle), Lollar Special Strat (Bridge) — pairs with the R2R Electric x Waterslide Guitars Time-O-Lite Fuzz into a vintage 1966 Fender Princeton Reverb sourced from LA Vintage Gear in Los Angeles. The Effectrode Tube Vibe joins from 04:20.
This is the same rig used for the Keeley-Modded Ibanez TS-9 video — same guitar, same amp, same mics. Two completely different conversations.
The Nash S63 came home from Vision Guitar in the Bay Area — one of the great independent guitar shops in California. Nash's pairing of Vintage Blonde neck and middle pickups with the Special Strat bridge is exactly right — warm and glassy where you need it, with enough push in the bridge to thicken things up once the fuzz hits.
The R2R Electric x Waterslide Time-O-Lite Fuzz is Chris Vincent's collaboration with Waterslide Guitars — NOS OC44 black glass germanium transistors from the 1950s and '60s, housed in a genuine antique darkroom timer enclosure, a run of just 25 units. Rich harmonic bloom, touch-sensitive cleanup, and complex midrange grind. Explored near-cranked on the bridge pickup from 00:00, with the Effectrode Tube Vibe joining from 04:20 for classic post-fuzz modulation placement, and extensive volume knob cleanup with the Vibe engaged from 05:34.
The '66 Princeton Reverb, sourced from LA Vintage Gear in Los Angeles, is smaller and more intimate than a Deluxe Reverb — it pushes into breakup faster and blooms differently, giving this NOS germanium circuit a genuinely different conversation than a bigger blackface platform would.
If you love vintage Strat tones, NOS germanium fuzz, and amps on the edge of breakup, this one is for you.
