Axe-Fx II is hundreds of dollars cheaper than my Axe-Fx II. :)

Just wanted to put this out before anyone complains about the anticipated price. Now granted, I paid a lot more because I wanted the Axe-Fx II right away and couldn't wait but still just want to give people perspective.

I think you meant to write "Axe-Fx III" at the start of your headline.

Yep, I remember the sticker shock a couple of years ago when I was considering the II XL+. I was actually shocked to see how low the price is on the Axe Fx III. Much respect for a company that doesn't gouge and take advantage of the excitement of a product's release. I already admired FAS for reducing the prices on the FX8 and AX8 when they became less expensive to manufacture.

Curious as to what the II cost when it first came out? Anyone have a figure. $2700 or so?

My invoice from 9/2011: Axe FX II MKI - Waiting List Customers = $2,200 before shipping.
Sold for $1500 12/2017

My invoice from 12/2017: Axe FX II XL+ = $1,799.99 before shipping.
Regular Price was $2150

**Edited** When I looked at the invoice I didn't notice and had forgotten about the $800 discount for Waiting List Customers. So I corrected the amount above. The $2999 price was never an official price, but if you just had to have it and wanted to cut in line you could have paid that amount if I remember correctly.

Paid 2304€ exactly, on the 5th of January 2012. (EU got very few units at start, I hope they don't do that again this time) The US$ was much weaker then, at that time I bought quite a few used guitars from the US, it was worth it even with VAT on top.
