Everyone wants to whine about Fender's price increase....

It's not just Fender people! Get used to it....

Very true. Bike shops in my area have just increased prices on all repair services. Some repairs went up by 30%. Of course, 2009 bikes and accessories increased by 10%.

I travel a lot and all airport restaurants added a buck to all meals.

So far the only bright spot has been hotels. No increases...... yet.
 
Are you kidding? I’m thrilled. I own 3 Fenders... a Geddy Jazz I bought new for about $600...and 2 that I bought used at very good prices… it’s the only “stock” I own that’s actually appreciating.
