It is with great reluctance that I must pass on price increases in many areas. Many items that I supply and use are sourced overseas (esp USA) and with the Australian dollar getting pummelled on the money markets, I cannot absorb the losses any longer and must increase some prices. Celestion products have gone up dramatically. Eminence are up, too. I shall try to keep discounting strings and accessories during service work, but will have to review these prices too, very soon. Apologies.
