Mark V price hike

[redline]

It appears that Mesa just raised the prices on Mark V head/combos - "regular" (black on black) head is now $2,099 and combo is $2,199. Some dealers still show old prices online while others have already updated their prices (as has Mesa Hollywood web site). A $100 price increase is not going to be a deal breaker for most buyers but I am still very curious as to reasoning behind it...

It's been 16 months since the last price increase.

I seem to remember that the price lists runs from February 1 - Jan. 31 . I bet if you ordered now you could get the old price .

It turns out Mesa raised list prices on a few products starting December 1st, and the list price for the combo is now $2,249 (even though Mesa currently offers it for $2,199 on their Mesa Hollywood web site). But Barry is correct: if you hurry up, you should be able to score a head or a combo at the "old" prices :wink: - not sure how long will that last though.

Anyway, looking forward to receiving my brand new Mesa V combo next week.

I only wish we could get them that cheap in the UK. I bought my head used and paid the equivilant of about $2,960.00. New it would be more like $3,750.00

That is a bit misleading though . Whats the exchange rate now ? Last time I looked it was nearly $1.60 to the pound sterling .

Bought my head new for £2200, so $3410 @ $1.55 / 1£ which is the rate today. Still a LOT more expensive here thanks to transport, tax and importer margins

Sadly we cannot import amps due to different voltages, but guitars direct are a different option altogether

And by the way, shipping always goes up the beginning of the year, too.
Cheers!

Head is now $2,249.00 and the combo $2,399.00. Wow.

yea but alot of dealers will cut you deals if you ask.....you can usually negotiate about 8-10% off pretty easily

I thought $2,100 was steep. I'm not sure $2,250 is worth it...and I own two Mark V heads.

Not to get political, but I think that this has a lot to do with the current state of the US/Global Economy.

It is.

In Canada the current price for a Dual Recto is about $700 cheaper than it was a few years ago.
