That's right it this story covered here (http://www.federalreserve.gov/paymentsystems/truncation/faqs2.htm#ques1). It states that Check 21 will now apply an additional 20% tax on guitars and guitar products as of October 28th this coming year.

Frankly, I am stunned and thankful I live in Canada. This is just unreal.

huh?...i just went to that page....read it several times....did a search for guitar and then a search for tax and i come up with nothing. Check 21 became effective on October 28, 2004.

Either you are joking or i am missing something here.

:) Figured we could use a dash of April Foolery on the Fret. You'll have to forgive my lack of creativity since it was 2:30 am when I posted it.

You have to be careful with April Fools' jokes. Japan almost didn't have a sense of humor (http://www.gaijinpot.com/read_news.php?id=6255)... :eek:
