awel Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Today I have checked Gibson prices and to my surprise they have again increased!!! I have paid my R7 Dark Back Goldtop 2799€ (3955$) one month ago and today it is 3099€ (4379$). 4333€ (6122$) for a R9!!! It begins to be impossible to get a Custom Shop. Is this due to the Dollar rate or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Yes, as the dollar goes down in value you need more of them to buy something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 And as the Fed seizes millions of dollars in materials prices will go up. Be glad you got yours "back when". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awel Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Time to buy used. That 's surely stupid but now I am afraid to but second hand ones. Don't know why :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAS44 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 It's not only Gibbies, when I bought my Strat it was 1300, now it's 1500 (and 1300 used on GC's site!). Sign of the times :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
