Ron,
I am not familiar with the Evens RET 500,  in fact I never heard of it.
If it's actually an Evans FET 500, it's worth $350-$500 depending on condition.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Bob[This message was edited by Bob Knight on 18 October 2002 at 06:05 PM.] |

If it was built in 1986 then that would be built by Darrel Stevens.....and that would be an original Pine Box and I'd give you 600.00 for it and not think twice....If I was lookin' that is.

Mine's from that era - I wouldn't part with it.
Peavey make fine steel amps but, for me, they don't work with electric guitar - the Evans is great for both!

Hey, Ricky,
Good Lord, You are WELL educated on Many Things in this Steel Guitar world of ours.
I have lots of respect for people who are in the KNOW, if you Know what I mean.
For years, I have made it a "THING" to know WHO sang the song, What year, and "all that Jazz". With ALL catagorys, Old R&B, OLD country, The 'SWING" ara of the 40s'I LOVE trivia of the 50s & 60s....I have been known to get "STUMPED" once in a while, though. Now I "KNOW" who to ask, when I need to "KNOW" something regarding Steel Guitar.
Keep picking a winner.... 
PS...I own a FET 500 Evans also...bought it from Walter Robers in Mindon, Louisiana in 1998...Quite a workhorse, it is... |

Cool Deal Ron W.
Hey Ron P. thanks for the kind words and yes I have to attribute the little knowledge I have to my many many great Mentors and Role Models of the steel guitar world....and waaaaaaay too long to list them here.......
But speaking of the Evans Amp....
I had Darrel put me one together out of the Very first big Pine box that was made(he found it somewhere)....and was a great amp and probably still is.....but Jon Light owns that one now.

I'm still using an FET-500 (large cabinet) that Darrell made me in the early 1980's.
What a great amp.
My Mullen sounds great through it, as does my old Gretsch Chet Atkins.

I just sold two of these in Central Texas. I think they got a great deal at $400 each.
God Bless,
