More power to you.


Hi srbass: what's the inflation rate in the US at present? How does that compare with Fender's price increase?

So thinking that through, what conclusions might we draw?


Our fed is trying to get our inflation rate up to 1.7%. So to answer your first question. Directly from the Times online...the annual inflation rate in the US for 2008 was officially 0.1%, and is projected to be negative for 2009.


'Zactly. People have been throwing around different figures for how much Fender's price increase adds up to, but whatever it is, it's way ahead of inflation.

What might we deduce from that?

Bowlfreshner points out that instrument companies are not getting bailouts like banks and car manufacturers. There's a clue...

Cheers - C
