Hey Folks,
I'm new here. I have a pending trade deal for a blonde Therapy head with a matching 1x12 cabinet (with a Two-Rock Eminence speaker - custom ordered apparently) plus $1,000 CDN for my 2008 Custom Shop Clapton Strat. Just came here to see if you all thought that was a good trade or not. Thanks.
Brendan

The amp and speaker are worth $1500 on the open market. I think you are getting the short end of the stick if I am doing the math correctly.

Yea that's what it seems like. It's tough to nail down values when the exchange rate is as terrible as it is in Canada right now. Seller is the second owner, says the amp was 4K new which I know isn't true as the original list price in 2014 was $1699 (plus ~$599 for a 1x12?). So I dunno, might just hold out for the Strat to sell, have it listed for $4500 because that's what they're "worth" in Canada right now.

I would try to get it off of the Z forum if possible.

I would try to get it off of the Z forum if possible. As much as I would like one, the only realistic means of getting one at this point would be in a trade deal with my CS EC Strat. Unfortunately the seller of the Therapy doesn't have enough cash to throw on top, and I don't have enough cash to throw at another amp without getting rid of that guitar first. Anyway - I appreciate the info and the quick response. You just saved me from making a bad deal!

Yeah, don't do that one IMO. I really like the Therapy and especially in Blonde, but your EC is worth more.

Just as a point of reference, there is a CS Blackie that just came up on my local CL for $3,200, which probably means it's worth in the mid $2K range somewhere. Still a lot more than a Therapy and cab is worth assuming that there are no issues with your strat.

Therapy heads are selling in the $2,000 range out here because of the exchange rate, so I feel like head+cab plus 2K would be alright. Unfortunately that's not the case. Oh well. *Keep in mind I'm talking Canadian prices - 1 USD is 1.31 CDN as of now
