Shop by my grandparents have a bf pro reverb head, obviously it's been modded from combo to head, but I'm curious if at $699 assuming I can take cash and talk him down at least $50, would it be worth it? I mean its still a bf pro reverb. Also had an approx '76 pro for $799. G-pa says I could get it off him for $700 if I took in cash, but how can you tell if it's a '76 or if its a '77 or later with the SS rectifier? Also out of those 2 would you prefer if the SF combo was an actual '76?

Or should I just save up for the $1,000 '68 drip edge super reverb near me.

That's a hard call, man!!! I'd be inclined to go with the Pro. But it would need to be inspected prior to the purchase to verify that it is straight-up. On the flip-flop, a '68 Super Reverb at 1K, would be a very nice score. Art

A 68 SR in good shape for 1000 is a great deal. Thats the one I would do.

+1K...I have never talked with anyone who ever felt paying a grand for a Super Reverb, espceially a 68, wasn't just a good buy. And you can't beat the tone of a SR!
