I just purchased a beautiful sounding and looking 1966 Pro Reverb. I was wondering if anyone knew what the original retail price for this amp was back in 1966?

I too, have a 66 pro reverb, and in my opinion it's the greatest sounding amp there is for a strat... In 1966 they cost $399.00 ! I bought mine from an old music store in 1994 for $300! And I wouldn't sell it for any amount.

By the way... my source "Fender Amps the first 50 years" by John Teague & John Sprung. Great Book!

Thanks, I was looking for a reference book to find out original prices. I just bought mine from the long time owner's son for $500. The old gentlemen was a Strat player and played in bands from the '60s through the '80s. The amp was in storage for over a decade.

wow! Great price ($500) I have not seen any blackface (1965-67) pro's sell for less than $1200.00 on ebay. There is a mint condition 65 on ebay right now for over $2k and the bidding's not over yet. But, this one is an all original perfect specimen.

Mine, on the other hand has some scuffs etc. but, I love that amp. The only other amp I have that comes close to capturing that same classic fender tone is my super reverb re-issue...
