hey man, my 2 cents:
- the custom 15 looks like a killer amp. check harmony central,
there's a review of "Gavin" who i think is on this list, he seems
pretty satisfied (an honest in his evaluation)
- I don't think its ptp... the 'normal' 65 reissue isn't, and this is
supposed to be the same chasis.
- consider that it's a 15, but in an open cab... try to figure out
whether the sound your looking for is a closed cab sound or an open
cab sound.
- I'm not so sure about the resale; what counts is value drop, and
I'd expect a new reissue fender to have more value drop then the
reverend at this point.
- I don't think any amp will give you great sound at stage volume AND
living room volume...
good luck, seems like a tough choice...
