Your right there Robert! I was thinking these things are way out there pricewise but after researching what the parts would cost then the labor to custom build one, cabinet, chassis and wiring the price point for a lot of these while high seems in line for a guy to be able to make a living building them. Anything of quality thats handmade these days is gonna cost ya......for those willing to pay the price of admission. Id love to get or build a little class A one of these days, I do love my Blues Deluxe great amph, great tones but I cant really crank it up much .....something about pictures falling off walls and them pesky neighbors. But Im very content with what it can do.
