Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
I think it looks quite nice but the price is ridiculous for a PCB 15 watt amp.
The normal ‘65 is too expensive as it is.
Earlier this year (2018), Fender released a '65 with a 12" Cannabis Rex in tweed*. And a couple of years ago (or was it last year) Fender also issued a Princeton Black & Blue version in dark grey/black tweed with a 12" Celestion Alnico Blue.
* I gave this a good test in GuitarGuitar 2/3 months ago, and it sounded great within the confines of a test booth.
Not tried the Black & Blue.
If you really want a 12" speaker in a Princeton, the cheaper option is to get a standard used '65 or '68, pick up a baffle for £80-ish, and buy your own 12" speaker of choice. A bit of work with a screwdriver, and bob's your uncle. If your lucky, then just over half the price of the new Fawn/Greenback version.
I'm in the process of fitting a 12" Celestion Neo Creamback as we speak, after getting a baffle made by Alder & Ash (thank you Rich). But haven't yet had the chance to finish the job and test it out.

But...I quite like the look of it, it reminds me of 70s HiFi/Radio consumer gear that I find quite endearing. Numbered dials would have really set this off though, rather than the indicator markers designed for Witchhat knobs.
