What the market value of a PRS 2-Channel Custom 20 Head

[cmedcoff]

I think I need to let this go to find and amp I like better. This is a great amp from the standpoint of having many features for lower wattage amp with the effects loop, boost, etc., but I need to get back to more of a souped up marshal kind of tone.

While I've owned this for a few years and it's been to a couple of gigs, it's in like new condition. Not even a scratch on the tolex anywhere.

I can't find much on the web. Does anyone know what this might be worth? I'm not trying to sell it here. That will be done on Reverb or Sweetwater or locally. I just don't know what a fair price point would be.

Suggestions?

There aren't many of the 20 watt heads out there so it may be hard to get an idea. hmmm... I may be interested, depending on what the value is. I know many things are so high that I've stopped buying any used gear.

I saw one recently that was listed for $700 and was available for several months. No way to know what it finally sold for. But he offered it to me for $650 and it sat for another month after that. Should be a really nice amp... I might be interested depending on price, but already have the cash for the HRDX20 and planned on that next. hmmm...

Yeah, they don’t move quickly.

Anything is only worth what someone is willing to pay.

At auction, it’s only what two people are willing to pay.

Play nicely.

GC Used has had one paired with a 1x12 cab for a while. That’ll give you an idea of what price isn’t moving it.

Yeah I've seen "2 channel" or "SE 2 channel" but not "2 channel custom". As I understand, similar, but different. Two channel customs were built in the US, the others I think not so perhaps some value difference, but still helps. Thanks.

You’re right—I’d assumed it was a Custom, but it isn’t. I did see a Custom 20 head for sale in Chicago last year for somewhere in the $500-range and another in the Carolinas for $900ish.

In other words, it’s not so common that there’s a going price. I’d decide how much you’ll let it go for and price it accordingly. It just depends on whether there’s someone looking for one of them specifically, as opposed to someone looking for a bargain opportunity.
