In FMIC's defense, they held their pricing for a long time prior to this increase and IMO, the increase was rather modest at that.

In light of this perhaps a delete post option on the edit screen might not be a bad idea?

I'm not baggin on them! Rolling out a completely new line has it's costs and you're also right...the old American Series held their price for alot of years with no jump. So it is about time that the price adjustment caught up. Honestly, in this day and age, for something you're likely going to keep for a loooooong time, and use every day, what's a hundred extra bucks?

There are ALOT of other companies I would have issue with pricing before Fender, with perhaps the exception of the AVS instruments. Could be worse...we could be talking Gibson, then we'd be trying to figure out why we're all paying twice as much for an unfinished guitar. :wink:

Guys: if you *ever* encounter forum issues / errors and/or folks behaving out of line please e-mail them to my attention at ForumAdmin AT fender.com or webmaster AT fender.com. Take a moment to write those e-mail addresses down and/or add them to your address book. I do check these forums often but am not watching every single thread.

We briefly ran out of disk space on one server this morning and that was causing some general weirdness. Let me know if you're still seeing oddities.

Nope, the only oddity I see is when I look in the mirror. :(

You do a great job, Brad. I wasn't complaining, just trying to make the most out of an odd situation. 8)

Best way to beat the price increases is to hunt for gems in the outlet depts. of the online retailers. Current example:

2 Scratch & Dent DRRIs at AMS going for $729.

With all due respect: I wholeheartedly agree with Martian. Fender prices have held steady or modestly increased over the years when compared to...well, basically the whole industry.

Fender has done an outstanding job of keeping theirs prices lower. Other companies which I won't name (OK Henry?) have had several price increases each year for the past couple of years.
