I’m not Fargen around!

Post by Piecutter »

I might get my hands on a Fargen Jazz SE Hybrid. Hand wired boutiques lightweight goodness. Anyone have experience with these? On reverb they are going for 1180.00. You think resale is anywhere close to that?

Excellent amps. Resale tends to be a little soft. I'd expect $750-1k.

If it ain't the Fargen John Lennon signature amp it ain't worth shit.

yeah, that seems too pricey. The build quality on those amps is pretty good, though. i had a Fargen Bastage for a while (small 5 watt class A amp). it was decent, but ultimately i sold it.

I bet you sold it for at least 3/4 of what you paid. I was going to invest in the Jazz Custom SE. I was going to trade something that is like 900 dollar resale value for this Fargen that retails for almost 1200. It seems like a really interesting amp but I’ll probably end up having to sell it for like 500 bucks....

Ever since I lost all that money in the Slow Gear bubble of the early 2010’s I never invest in gear anymore.

pro tip: collectable happy meal toys are the investment that always pays off
