Gibson price increase

[Phony iommi]

Browsing a couple major retailers and Gibson’s website there’s been a $200 increase to most of the Les paul and sg line. I didn’t look at any other models. Thankfully I just purchased a new SG special a week ago.
Prices go up every year it seems, on many things.

We haven’t seen inflation like we’ve seen the past nine months in over 30 years.

CEO private resort and country club fees.

I wish. Since everyone "works from home" now golf courses are packed. And they can charge whatever the f they want.

Not for me, but we are lazy lol. Local places in NH have had bands back for a while and they are still paying. Now, as for booking a tour or something yeah you are prob right.

Who buys new Gibsons ?

Inflation as previously mentioned. EVERYTHING has gotten ridiculous.

People don't understand that when you give money away it's worthless. Pretty *ucking simple in my book.

Most vendors keep insisting on giving consumers less, ........for more $.
It's new trend apparently. However, they can do that in the monopoly they've created.
I'll boycott all that I can right now. Just because
Buy right guys !

Remember 2009 >

Yeah it sucks but it is what it is especially when getting american built guitars.

I know nothing about the economics of it but hopefully it doesn’t go up too much more

 

[GregM]

I noticed that a figured Gibson ES 335 is $3999.00.

I won't get one.

Maybe.
