That artificial markup on Diezel in the US is ridiculous. This is the equivalent of $3299 in Germany before taxes and the Diezels all have multiple primary transformers so the only difference is a couple of wire connections. It's as bad as Mesa for EU folks lol
I was actually looking at ordering one of the new Herberts from Thomann since they are so much cheaper but Diezel doesn't allow them to ship to the US.

lol^
I looked into the Thomann price too and don't understand the huge disparity
If I could get it shipped from them at their price point or get something similar in the US from Sweetwater I would be on it

No thanks I'll just get [place one of innumerable top-shelf amps on the market you can get for $3,000 or less here] plus a brand new Axe-Fx III for effects (and any amp models for anything you might need that the $3,000 amp doesn't do perfectly).

That's a lot of cash. But....
Wizards new are over that. Friedmans? 4K. And what about guitars? Some of you guys buy Gibson Historics new, aren't they this price or even more? Suhrs? Andersons?
When you put in into perspective this isn't unexpected, is it?
I agree with Fordman though; I have a 3K limit lol.

TO ANY OF MY EUROPEAN BROTHERS-BUY A MESA, SHIP IT TO ME, PAY SHIPPING TO YOUR ADDRESS AND I'LL SHIP IT. FOR FREE. FUCK DA GUBMENT. I guess that would work right? Or am I missing something? never shipped international before.

Very valid point. I'm totally guilty of this. Juist this year, I spent over $4k on a used Ken Lawrence explorer. How the F*&(%$ did I rationalize that one if I'm not willing to spend that on an amp? That said, I do generally like to spend $3k or under on my guitars as well. Part of me thinks, just buy a nice used peavey 5150 for under $1k, a nice used Fender/Gibson/PRS or whatever for under $2k and call it a day.
$3k all in and I'm good to go, right? Hell no! I NEEDED to buy that $3,300 used Wizard! Of course I did!
I'm fortunate in that my guitar hobby budget is fairly significant. That said, these types of struggles are a real mental F&%*$ for me at times. I usually just say screw it and spend the money.
EDIT: it's also funny that you mention the exact brand of guitars in my house. Just sold a Historic and I have a Suhr and Anderson.... Almost like you were speaking directly to me.
