I think that’s what makes stuff like this even worse. This guy TOTALLY knows better and is just hoping someone thinks this is the same deal as the old one.

They have regularly had some of the most egregious price gouging I’ve ever seen. I would never give a gouger of this caliber any business. This is actually preposterous to ask this much for a colored faceplate. Guaranteed they are hoping someone doesn’t know better and buys it.Ok, I’ve been WAITING for this thread.
I like Diablo Guitars, but this is one of the biggest stretches I’ve seen. These are 2010 Silverface circuits with a blue faceplate—not actual Blueface-spec VH4s. Reissues usually sell for around $5k. $20k is the price for a real Blueface.
Also, just to clear the air—they’re not misinformed. I actually called them about a month ago before this listing went live. They mentioned getting a Blueface in on trade, and I was ready to buy it sight unseen. But then they told me it was the reissue, and I said, “Bummer, that’s just a standard VH4 with a blue faceplate. If it were the real deal, I’d take it.” The guy totally understood and even took my number in case they ever get a legit one.
So no, they’re not confused—they know exactly what this is.

Ridiculous. I picked up a used Marshall cab with the good g12-65s for $500 not long ago, actually $550, the guy charged me an extra $50’to open the amp and take a pic. They do sound really good. Both clean and high gain are great.
