FWIW, I visited our one local Fender mom and pop shop this afternoon. They've had a Deluxe Reverb reissue for some time now. It was marked "gotta go!" at $819, not a bad price considering the recent Fender price increases. MF is now selling them at $1199. If not strapped for cash, I would've brought it home...................
Their new shipment of Fender guitars are priced to reflect the increase. Deluxe Player's Strat...$799. They almost always match MF and other big box stores. They lost their Gibson franchise a few yrs. back because they couldn't order enough inventory and leave it hanging, waiting for thousands of dollars worth merchandise to sell. I hope they can survive the Fender price increases, the economy crunch, and the looky-loos who wanna headbang and scratch guitars, but not buy them.
