I'm in no position to go buy any serious gear right now, but I am curious what's on this exclusive list that cannot be discounted. IF I was to purchase a guitar, it would be this one. http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-Les-Paul-CustomGX-with-Dirty-Fingers-Pickups-Electric-Guitar?sku=515617 Looks pretty interesting, and if available for 20% off, brings it down to $680, which would be more in line of what this thing should be. Alas, co-pays tearing me a new one these days. :cry:

Besides, I don't no no more stinkin gear. I don't need the gear I got. I'd be like a golfer who hits about a 110 average owning 4 putters, 3 sandwedges, 4 or 5 drivers, etc, etc. Like greg sez. It's in da fingers. Same with golf.]]> Opinions and Polls rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yikes-price-increases/#post-322681 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yikes-price-increases/#post-322680 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 10:53:05 +0000 Opinions and Polls TRGuitar https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yikes-price-increases/#post-322680 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yikes-price-increases/#post-322533 Thu, 05 Mar 2009 04:07:48 +0000 Opinions and Polls U2Bono269 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yikes-price-increases/#post-322533 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yikes-price-increases/#post-322376 Tue, 03 Mar 2009 02:31:13 +0000 Opinions and Polls rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yikes-price-increases/#post-322376 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yikes-price-increases/#post-322374 Tue, 03 Mar 2009 01:34:51 +0000
The Yngwie Strat which I have eyed for a long time is now over $2000!!! :shock: Last year was selling for a little over $1300. Guess I'll never own one of those now. I'm definantly not gonna pay 2K for it! I predict that in a few months sales will come to a standstill & they will have to cut the prices.]]> Opinions and Polls katmetal https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yikes-price-increases/#post-322374 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yikes-price-increases/#post-322369 Tue, 03 Mar 2009 00:00:04 +0000
I priced an Epi LP with a dealer last November at AU$799. When I went to buy it late January the price had jumped to AU$1200!. When I said told the dealer that Epis just aren't worth that, he agreed and said he would never buy one at that price.

In the Epi area of the market there are so many competing brands that are better quality and certainly better value for money - the Agile 3000/3100 series is an excellent example going on the reports of owners, another the new Fender Squier Classic Vibes.]]> Opinions and Polls BluezOldy https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yikes-price-increases/#post-322369 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yikes-price-increases/#post-322343 Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:44:03 +0000
As far as the MIMs go, they are each a little higher unless you want the HSS. For some reason that's $550-$600. Seems odd though, because there are only 9 reviews. Maybe there's some sort of gap in the stock and their out of something.

The amps though. Man. That's just insane. 50% increase in 18 months.]]> Opinions and Polls rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yikes-price-increases/#post-322343 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yikes-price-increases/#post-322340 Mon, 02 Mar 2009 17:13:50 +0000 It was on sale . . . with tax and everything it came to $288.87
(I keep receipts for guitar related acquisitions in a pocket of my song notebook)
The sales clerk at Guitar Center said it was a great deal for a tube amp.
He insisted that I buy it . . . and twisted my arm.
Nice to know I got a good deal.]]> Opinions and Polls KR2 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yikes-price-increases/#post-322340 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yikes-price-increases/#post-322336 Mon, 02 Mar 2009 15:19:04 +0000 Opinions and Polls Musenfreund https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yikes-price-increases/#post-322336 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yikes-price-increases/#post-322335 Mon, 02 Mar 2009 15:18:19 +0000
And Ford just announced they're putting up the price of their cars over here by 5%. Not a bad job when inflation is only 0.1% - old Henry puts a price rise on us of fifty times inflation.

Moan moan moan......
