Terry I don't know if this is any help.

My HR Deville 2x12 is s/n B-017427 , I believe it is probably 4 years old, no more than 5 . I have owned it for about 2 1/2 years, the fella I bought it from bought it new and he told me he had it I think for just over a year.

I believe this entire HR series was introduced in 96/97 or so, as I recall I bought my HR Deluxe new when they first came out around that time.

I may be off, but not by much. The previous Series was the Blues Devilles in Tweed.

The first ones were made in Corona, CA. They're now made in Mexico.

Thanks Tony and Micheal. The guy said he thought it was a 2000 model, but wadn't for sure. It says made in Mexico on the Tag. Is $519 a decent price for this one? Supposed to be in excellant condition.

Terry, I paid $425 for mine a couple years back in almost new condition.

I feel they sell in the $400 and up range based on condition of the cabinet and tolex.

I am thinking over $500 is at the very top of the used market.

Thanks Tony. That's just what I needed to know. I'll find a good one, I'm not goin to get in a big hurry. I'll have to sell one of my Nashville 112's first anyhow.
