Sitting through a boring weekly online meeting, I started to surf the guitar sites and noticed something funny: The guitars I typically focus on all seem to have had price increases. Gibson LPs are now running around $2,500 (US), Strats are showing at around $1,900, Teles are creeping up around $1,900, and so on. I pretty much pass on the lower end (sorry if that sounds elitist, but it's where my sweet spot is).
This is true on Sweetwater, Zzounds, CME and AMS, so it's not just one store. Has anyone else noticed an upward creep in new guitar prices?
