Hey guys...

Wondering if you could help me with some info on this head I can't find much about it.

It's a Hiwatt Lead 50
Says SG-50 on the plate
Serial is 16795

It was made in Modesto (which from what I read is a bad thing haha) I tell you what tho... If the modesto heads were of a lesser quality, this one could have fooled me because A: for it's age(?) it's in Very Good Condition. B: It sounds as good as any of the other Hiwatts I've heard.

Just wondering if anyone knows what year it is and what I could sell it for if I decide not to keep it, Right now I might be loving it too much to let it go haha!

Thanks Alot!

1985
the modesto stuff is sort of in the middle from a quality perspective of the various amps that used the HIWATT name
on Ebay it is hard to say what it may bring, it depends on who is bidding and how bad they want it.
best guess...$500-$800

Hey Thanks Alot!

It's a great amp. If I decide to put it on ebay I'll post something here if anyone wants it.

you are welcome!
