Its amazing, Fender Guitars have also increased prices heavily .Although I am not in the market at present as I own a nice Telecaster,it seems incredible that companies raise their price .It makes me wonder that if now no-one can borrow any money,companies are having to actually set some realistic prices to get a return ,They may well be gambling that those who really want their products will still pay good money for them while those who just cannot afford them at any price wont bother anyway .It seems the only logic to it all . Model railways used to be expensive toys that many could not afford .It may well get back to that again .
