Re: New Pricelists are Out
[ QUOTE ]
Sully all upcharges on the pricesheet are list. So you think the strat upcharge should be the same as a 3/4 quilt cap?
[/ QUOTE ]
to be perfectly honest, i don't really know how much i care about it, if at all. it is what it is. if you want a strathead, that's what it's going to cost. you have the choice now. you didn't before.
[ QUOTE ]
I had said in another topic that 120 or so would be acceptable to me as an upcharge. I don't think 300 is.
[/ QUOTE ]
again, list. if you wind up paying $300 for the upcharge, you need a different dealer.

I'm sorry but Warmoth, USA CG and Musikraft all have licensing deals and they don't have such crazy pricing.
[/ QUOTE ]
complain and rationalize it all you want, but you're not comparing apples to apples, here. you can get a warmoth (etc)strathead, sure. it's still not the same headstock shape nor is the neck carve the same.
[ QUOTE ]
Maybe John has a legit explanation for the large price bump.
[/ QUOTE ]
with all due respect, it seems as if you're looking more for an apology. no matter what rationale is given, it's not going to make you feel any better about it.
[ QUOTE ]
But I think I'll be going with a pointy for mine which is a bit of a pity.
[/ QUOTE ]
it's as much of a pity as you want it to be.
[ QUOTE ]
I think they will see an increase in custom orders but not as much if the upcharge had been under $150.
[/ QUOTE ]
no way to know, and really, it's not like we'll ever get that data. i don't mean to take it out on you personally, chris, but jesus guys, either get one or don't. i understand that it's cool that we get to voice an opinion to the manufacturer, but really, how much weight do you think that opinion has? i don't mean it in a bad way, but the answer is "not a lot."
