It Had To Happen
The prices that we’ve held so long,
Are soon to be arising. It seems that it would just be wrong If we were not apprising. For pressures far beyond the scope Of luthiers prevailing, Have squeezed us till there is no hope; Inflation is assailing! It nips us here, it stings us there, It wounds us in the ledger. When we feel bullish, it’s a bear, We’re posts and it’s a sledger! So since inflation will not stop Or even take a breather, It’s clear that in this Texas shop Our prices cannot either. We hate to raise them, yes we do, Inflation’s such a bummer. So if an order is in view, Don’t wait until the summer.

Excellent! News like this has never been so well presented. You should include an original verse in the case with each new guitar.

Do us a favor and don't put that to music.
One of the side effects of the pandemic is inflation on many fronts: homes, food, lumber..... and now guitars. Hardly surprising.

“Don’t take a pick to me, my friend, I wasn’t made for strumming. If you don’t gently pluck my strings You might as well be drumming.” Or some such sentiment? Quote:

But you are correct: we wanted to build a simple storage rack for extra cases and were stunned at the jump in cost 3/4” BC plywood has taken. Oof! Thanks for taking this so graciously my friends, Steve

Yes, this is perfect! A little literary and musical guidance from the bench. Perhaps something about the wood, the process, the rosette ... The Adirondack in this axe Hadn’t need for torrefaction It’ll age better than the rest of us So play with satisfaction!
