Hand wired... $2500 - ouch. I like it, but I think I could build a replica for less than $1K and it'd be as good.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

No.

 

[jelloman]

Hell fucking no...

 

[Chad]

You can get an Allen for less than that.

 

[LeftyTom]

Pass.

 

[Mark Wein]

Too fucking much money.

 

[mongooz]

if it was an actual 1964 in that condition.....then......

 

[shoeless]

Hot, but not $2500 hot.

 

[Guitar Heel]

Hot, but silly.

The UK advertisement for it have been circulating for a month or so.

The price has to fall in-line with their other amps — a DRRI is $1100; a flagship Vibro-King was $3,600(?) — The brand equity will sell help the amp and keep resale value up. Especially, since the same buyer would compare the new equivalents from Victoria ($2,600), Tone King ($2,600), Clark ($2,500) , Headstrong ($2250), etc.
