Anybody notice a sudden price jump in guitars? I know they have been rising

adamm82

lately anyway but it seems overnight on existing products. 

Some guitars I've been looking at at the usual retailers have suddenly gone up £50 to £60 pounds overnight.

A guitar I bought for £900 is now £949.00 and the Kramer 84 I had is now £70 more than I paid for it.

Usually these things go the other way.

It's a handy excuse for everyone now. If you ask for a pay rise at work. mmm tough times brexit etc.

It's a shame you can't even get a good bargain on anything on ebay anymore. Not just guitars I used to buy all sorts of stuff. But now ebay has got you with their ridiculous postage fees from the global shipping programme. You could get a t-shirt that you might not find here and not have to spend much now it costs £50.00

I am going to the states in October maybe I'll bring back a guitar that way.

I'm sure that was about a price hike not a price jump ;-)

Say what you will, but it is brexit having a direct or non direct impact - well done all leavers youve done brilliantly. Anyway, as you were

capo4th

Hope the leavers are all enjoying higher prices and less disposable income 

BloodEagle

Exactly, he gets it

I never usually notice these things, but I got the fright of my life when I saw how much it costs for a Johnny Marr Jaguar now. £1489 to £1919 in less than 2 years.

'Project Fear' alive and well on The Fretboard. Oh FFS, get a grip. If one worries about what's outside, one would never leave the house.

Leaving the EU isnt about the economics, and we all realise there's a price for regaining independence. The leavers know this. The country knows this, yet a few remainers continue to stake their claim as Pub Bore of the decade. Zzzzzzzz.

There's something to be said for being an independent nation. Making our own choices, setting our own laws, maintaining our own borders, trading with the rest of the world, etc.

Banging on about high prices as an excuse to remain wedded to the increasingly belligerant EU is such a bore. Yadda yadda. We've had 18 months of this shit, and all the other doom mongering from remainers, its pathetic.

Despite what the BBC tell you, there are positives, and its up to every Brit to realise this, and make it a success and not a failure.

Not project fear my friend just simple facts that everyone is worse off as a result of higher prices.

Everyone has less disposable income due to higher prices that is a fact.

Without expressing which side of the debate I'm on, could we possibly change the forum rules to keep talk about Brexit in Speakers Corner?

It's turning things a bit nasty at times, and we are all supposed to be fret bros in here

capo4th

I can't recall a nasty Brexit thread.

Fandango night need to go and see someone about his stress levels though.

Why wouldn't you express which side of the debate your on? Far too many people in the closet on so many issues.

brojangles

Yeah I don't come here to argue about Brexit, that's what Twitter's for (and I'm not on that either).

That said, I'm not convinced that we weren't better off cutting trade deals as part of a mighty economic bloc, rather than as a pissant island with figures of the stature of the disgraced former defence minister Liam Fox (who was forced to resign in disgrace) doing the deal-making...

Hands up all those who vote that talk about Brexit should Remain in this thread?  And all those who vote Leave?

I'll get me coat....

capo4th

I find it quite hilarious that people can't discuss something that is going to be daily news for the next two years. Maybe some people are frustrated that they voted incorrectly or are worried about the consequences of their vote. Decisions made on Brexit in the next 2 years will be with you for the rest of your life and your children.

There's only one belligerent voice here...

There is a very simple connection between our currency being devalued by 20% and an increase in the cost of things, it's just a fact.
