Rookery Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Has there been a recent price increase? I've been checking out the prices of Dots, ES339's and Casino Coupes these past few months and in the last two weeks they all seemed to have jumped by 10% or so, much higher than inflation. Well at least they have at the usual 4 or 5 retail suspects here in the UK. Only Thomann in Germany seem to have kept their prices down. It looks as if I'm as far away as ever from being able to afford one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versatile Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Yes....over the last 2 months or so the £ has dropped against the $.... Used to be $1.50 or so to the £ Now around $1.33....so not far off 10% fall I bought a sax recently and it had risen almost exactly 10% in £'s over a month... :blink: I was not pleased one iota.... Conversely....UK exports are doing very well for the same reason.... V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookery Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Yes, I wondered if brexit had anything to do with it. Thanks for the offer Merciful. What colour is it and why are you selling it after only a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What colour is it and why are you selling it after only a year? I've simply bought too many guitars over the last 18 months. Something has to go. I gigged it once, with a band I have split from now. I couldn't use it in my regular band (which is louder) without taking steps to control feedback (because its a full hollowbody) like stuffing it full of foam.
