Thanks for the heads-up. There's one for sale at my local music store,used,for $450 I'm thinking about buying. For those in-the-know is this a good price?

Hi waya: if you are in North America then it looks like the head sells for around $550 - 575 new. Is the one you are looking at in good shape? If so, it's a nice playing little amp, for sure, especially as you can step the 15 watts down to seven watts if you want. (Be aware, it can still be loud even at the lower output...)

Yeah $450 is a really good price…. Seen a few on C-list around 350 but in very used shape….if the one you found is in good shape I would snag it up….I have been having a hard time finding one used at a good price…Santa brought me a new strat last year; hoping for a tiny terror this year. Guess I may have to go with full price on a new one if the search continues like it has been….Good luck and I’m sure you will love it.

Cheers
Bill
