If everything is original and in good shape,probably $4,000+,depending on who has it.
Everybody wants one because it's rare and the first Fender combo with reverb....and SRV used several so that's a big deal with some folks.

There's a "Vintage Amplifiers" lounge where you can discuss everything about vintage Fender amps made before the purchase of the company from CBS by the late William Charles "Bill" Schultz in 1985.

However I'm not aware of SRV ever using the 2 x 10 brownface '63. But his use of the 1 x 15 blackface '64 similar to this one is legendary......

You're right Arjay,from what I've read his were the BF models with the 15".
My Brother in law gave away a Brown Vibroverb to a friend,I've never let him forget that either!

I saw a brown 6G16 on Ebay last night for $2500 -- some replaced parts, with a repro cab and non-original vintage Jensens. It seemed reasonably-priced but would require some TLC from someone competent with restorations.

If I can just pull attention to the amp in the photo - that is one of the most beautiful amps that I've ever seen.

It's a skillfully-assembled reproduction, using a '69 Super Reverb chassis as the basis. A recent acquisition, I traded for it at the Tempe guitar show last month.

Welcome to the forum, Bill.

I've lusted after your 6G16 for as long as I can remember -- gotta be one of the nicest survivors around!

Rawk on!
