I did a little research and as far as I can tell these are still in production. There seems to be a pause in production, though, maybe to do with supply chain issues, but they'll be back. There are 2 of these on Reverb right now for 2000$ each. Is it just the hype of its (in)famous predecessor or are people really that impatient to wait for them to be restocked? Even if they are discontinued, that would be recent. Correct me if I'm wrong about any of the production "facts" I've mentioned.
