HOT DANG!

Guitars and stuff is SO EXPENSIVE in PA!

Managed a wander round the local music and pawn shops this morning.

G O O D - H E A V E N S.

An Aria STG is $300 plus taxes. A Mexican strat $900 + tax. That Aria can be had for about 70 quid in the UK = $140, the strat for around 300 quid = $600.

I'd hoped for some bargains, but the boot is on the other foot here. This is weird because only last night the guys were saying how strong the CAD was, so stuff should be cheap. Instead everything is from 25% to 100% more than we'd pay. Makes me grateful for blighty after all. Just wonder why.
