My SC-13e was just under $1500.00
My SC-13e was just under $1500.00I've a Martin T1K Uke that was built in Mexico, it's a fine instrument.
The whole reason that Martin is able to sell entry level instruments is because they are built across the border.
This is no longer the early 90's where they can build entry level guitars here and sell them for $700.
I wonder what this will do to Sweetwater? Are you familiar with Sweetwater in Ft. Wayne, Indiana? Awesome store for guitars and anything music related! Also has live performers and a cafeteria. And lessons but I took them from somewhat else I started with over 30 years ago.Ah, I take it you're doing a custom order?
I'm buying a regular production item, except I'm not ready to go today.
I've been saying it for years: This iteration of Fender Corp is now first and foremost a marketing company. But these tariffs are going to skew Fender's market-segmenting strategy.
The current Player II line is MiM, and considered a pretty good value (even if they're not my cup of tea). I suppose that will change. A lot of entry-level and value-level players are going to get hurt.
I have no idea what will happen to the American made products. But my guess is everything will go up.
No custom order but the mahogany and rosewood used to build guitars are imported and the tuners, electronics, wiring and plastics for pickguards are many times imported so the cost of the instruments will rise due to the tariffs of the imported materials.Ah, I take it you're doing a custom order?

It may or may not be justified at this point. I've seen retailers take advantage of inflation and increase the price even though they still got the product at wholesale prices before their costs went up.
Don't look at the man behind the curtain. I'm the wizard.How long is Fox going to pretend that nothing's going on with the market?
Holy shit, that's US built prices.My SC-13e was just under $1500.00
First, there are 30 stocks in the Dow, not 50.The Dow is only 50 stocks. Many companies are operating internationally. We've had a 50% drop before, and we're still here. The price of stocks is what investors are willing to pay for ownership in the company. Revenue has not stopped yet, we do not have unemployment at 50%. When we get to that point, I will be concerned with the continuation of the current republic.
MS-13 gang member. Going to the SC. Liberal judges aren’t president.When people like you support arresting people and disappearing them to foreign prisons without trials, it's pretty easy to start projecting that behavior onto others. I'm guessing projecting this sort of evil onto others helps you sleep at night.
I see NVDA is back up. Where are the Libs of DP on this?
You can’t take satire. My post would get me arrested when a progressive totalitarian like Starmer takes over in America.You sound unbiased. Lol
Worthless biased stupid forecast
LOL Nvidia is allll the way back up to 97.5NVDA is down 24% since Trump took office. It is not “back up”.
Starmer being a perfect example. Bet zero, card banned, free speech called hate speech getting you two years.Yeah, that's what I was alluding to.
The nation would be facing the ideological totalitarianism the left keeps falsely accusing others of.
From yesterday.NVDA is down 24% since Trump took office. It is not “back up”.
Had risen too far anyway.NVDA is down 24% since Trump took office. It is not “back up”.
From yesterday.
Great. They can wait out the correction then and stop their incessant whining.Yesterday isn’t what most folk are interested in. Most folk aren’t day trading.
Sorry 30 stocks. An even smaller less relevant sample.First, there are 30 stocks in the Dow, not 50.
Second, as my thesis professor, the late Harry Markowitz, who won the Nobel prize for proving, one can mimic the market with a handful of stocks.
Third, while “revenue has not stopped” companies are anticipating lower future revenue due to the insane tariffs.

Why the Dow Doesn’t Work
The Dow, despite being the index you hear about the most, doesn’t actually tell you much. If it’s up or down a lot, it can tell you that US large companies had a good or bad day, but that’s about it. There are two reasons for this:
It only looks at a small number of really big US companies
It measures them poorly
Let’s look at these issues in turn

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is the second oldest US stock index in the world. It was created in 1896 by Charles Dow, who also created the oldest US stock index, the Dow Jones Transportation Average.retirementresearcher.com
