Damn. Me want!

They did release a production model version for $2300, but they're nowhere to be found. You can buy it on their website, but I don't know the logistics.

The Custom Shop version shot up to $5100!

They haven't released a Chinese production version yet. They are not available. Keep in mind it took a few years for the hand-wired version to be available even though it was announced and listed on their site. Also, these aren't made in the USA. There will be additional taxes and tariffs if you want to import one from the UK or Canada. There's no hard number yet, but from what I can see it's up to 35% if the Mexico/Canadian exemption is gone.

After all said and done, the Chinese version might end up being north of $2,600 with tax, tariff, and shipping.

They list it on their website, I emailed them, we'll see if they respond. $2600 would probably be a hard pass for me for Chinese. I'd just assume pay more for yours.
 
there's clean builds ..... and then there's HiWatt builds ...... god dam if I just didn't buy a Les Paul Custom

It's been on their website for a long time. First it said early 2025. Then it said Q2. Then it said Q3. Now it says nothing. They originally announced the production version a few YEARS ago. Anyway... doesn't really matter. If you want the hand-wired version, here it is :)

They responded to my email, and they expect stock in the U.S. in December.
 
If you read between the lines there is no lack of uncertainty here. Risk and possibility miss out on a killer score from a trusted seller who takes exceptional care of his gear and has a rare amp now or months from now the costs like everything else is trending higher?

What’s the differences ?

It’s a great one too
 
Looks like Hiwatt just raised the price of these to $5,100... And the Chinese production version is listed at $2,300.
