I've also noticed a few Esp models, namely the Hetfield signatures, that seem to have risen by £300 odd.
Good job I couldnt afford either anyway!
I have a bad habit of buying a Lindt bar of chocolate on a Thursday from Sainsbury's which is only yards from me - Yet that bar of chocolate changes from around £1.20 to £1.70 on a regular basis - so much easier for such operations to hide, manipulate and change prices - If they want to run a big promo of say product A reduced to 99p from £1.50, they can simply add 1p to a 100 different products , be it Cream Crackers or Alpen, and no one notices yet the stores overall margin is protected - They have the logistical ability to do this
They really need to start adding fancy superstrats to the list of goods they use to work out the CPI...
It's really dishonest, and it is actually surprising they get away with it...

I will take full advantage.
I have been reading what the Road Haulage Association are saying about Brexit. They don't trust the Tories to make a deal that avoids freaking mayhem around our ports.
Is is not so much what they are saying. It is what they are not saying.
If there is gridlock around Dover stretching miles....and no obvious solution.....what exactly do you have 1 week later?
We all know what JIT is. Don't we?
We all know what JIT did for "warehouses" don't we?
We all know how fragile all of this is this is don't we?
Is it just possible that the people who are filling their garage with tinned food are actually the sane people?
Retailers are having a tough enough time without having to absorb this too.
I really notice it in the Andertons video's. Now, when they mention a price of a piece of gear they caveat it with "don't pay too much attention to that, prices go up and down". They know how odd some of the videos from a year or 2 back look now - e.g. with Les Paul standards under £1500.
Even UK based manufacturers have to import a lot of their raw materials, so they are not immune to price increases either, although they should gain some advantage.
Trump.
Madness.
Fucked by ideology on all sides.
End of.
YeahI noticed that as well, one guy in a guitar shop told me some prices are changing week by week and its getting very difficult to keep up.
Governments want inflation, but they want it controlled - but controlled inflation will bring in a small increase in vat revenue, so a very crafty 'stealth tax' that barely ever gets mentioned - vat on a £200 item at the old price or vat on the same item at the new price of £204 based on 2% - now multiply that small increase in vat revenue by tens of thousand of transaction and you can quickly see one reason why they need and want inflation - But they will only show, include and exclude what they want to
