Any idea what these sell for these days? They were made around 1995-2002 and I believe a custom shop amp. Here's some info from a Scotty Moore sire:
The CS dual professional is a 100watt 2 channel amplifier with 2 12" Celestion "Vintage 30" 60 watt 8 ohm speakers. It features all Point to Point Hand Wiring, Dual Selectable Volume and "Fat" Controls, Treble, Bass, and Mid Controls, Built in Vintage "Tube Reverb" with Dwell, Mix, and Tone Controls, Vintage Vibrato Circuit with Speed and Intensity Controls, Effects Loop, Birch Plywood Open Back Cabinet, Tilt Back Legs, Ivory Radio Knobs, Jeweled Pilot Light, 2-Button Footswitch for Volume Select and Vibrato on/off and a 13-Ply Baltic Birch Plywood Cabinet.
For tubes it has 5 12AX7A / 7025s, 1 6V6, 4 6L6WGC / 5881s and a Solid State Rectifier. It measures H 19.87" x W 26.15" x D 10.37" and weighs 76lbs. |

My Fjestad Blue Book 3rd Edition has them for:
100% $2100
Excellent $1300-1500
Average $850-1000
Last MSRP noted (2002) was $3000.
Looks like a great amp, at least for guitar.
It has the three-knob reverb with 6v6 drive, hand-wired, birch cab. These prices are the same for all the Custom Shop series.

I see them go for $1000 to $1500. I have owned two over the years.
When set up correctly, they sound great. The best built in reverb I've ever heard. The stock Celestians didn't really do it for me. With a pair of JBL's they make a wonderful (and ungodly heavy) pedal steel amp.
The overall build quality was poor though, both the wiring and cabinet work. |

| Poor in a way that couldn't be improved upon? Seems like a pretty cool amp from the videos I've seen online. |

| They are great sounding amps but the cabinets are not built very well. A solid pine cab would be a big improvement. Lead dress is also shabby but probably doesn't hurt the sound of the amp. |
