Hello all. just wanted to say I just bought a RW 50s Strat. This is my second Strat in as few months. Generally I'm not a Strat guy but I fell in love with a daphne blue HWY 1 (H/S/S) Strat and snagged it up.

Well my local shop got the RW Strat in a few weeks back. I fell in love with the look, made the mistake of playing her, now I have her too. Honestly I think the RWs are too pricey but they play and sound so good. I like the RW 10 times more than my HWY 1.

Now I have to get a tube amp. I had a HotRod Deville 410 but it was way too loud for the house, so I'm leaning toward a '57 Champ Reissue or a Valve King 212. Any unbiased suggestions?

I like the VK simply because it can drive my 412 cab.

Yea those road worns are amazing. Got the 60s olympic white strat about a month ago, and ordered another 60s in three tone sunburst.

How much did you get yours for, if you don't mind me asking?

I paid $950.

keep your eyes posted on Musiciansfriend.com. Every Friday they have a "Fender Friday Special" where they slash prices on selected fender products at below cost. I got both my road worn for $499 each with free shipping, you could say I got two for the price of one.

Congrats on the guitar.If you are looking for a small tube amp you could do better pricewise than a 57 champ.Some considerations might be Peavey classic 30,Fender blues jr or pro jr, but i would seriously take a look at the Fender Deluxe Reverb and Princeton Reverb.I would check out E-bay and CL. Good luck

Very nice.

My main reason for looking at the Champ, was the smokin' tone at tolerable volumes. But I want something that can drive my big cab too. I think the Peaveys can. Any of the mentioned Fender amps up to the task?

Do a search about extension cabs, i know from what i have heard , all the above mentioned amps can drive a cab.To my knowledge even th 5 watt champion 600 can drive a cab.Everyones situation is different.I have a bassman and a super reverb that i play also at home with no complaints.

I looked briefly at the backs of a few Fender amps and didn't see cab outputs, but I will definitely do some research.

Two Road Worns for $499 each. I'm bummed now.

shupe13,

Perhaps, you can have the place your purchased the road worn from to price match the currenty price of the road worn, $749. Yes, it has dropped down today. Check out MF here, http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-RoadWorn-60s-Stratocaster-Electric-Guitar?sku=526796

Those prices are moving targets!

I've never seen a place change prices so often/quickly.

Blink and you'll miss a great price, I guess.
