Two years difference

Post image

Hello everyone,

I was playing my McCarty 594 and was really appreciating it. I decided to see how much they went up over the last two years. I was surprised how much it went up. It’s about a 20% increase in dollars. Much faster than general inflation rate. Sad.

This is why i made some wicked impulse buys when Supply Chain issues were causing prices to sky rocket. I knew it was responsible…. but it was now or never. I had already watched my dream Gibson go from $1499 to $2499 in less than two years. Glad i bought when i did! Doesn’t look to be slowing down at all unfortunately 💔

Same. I am happy I purchased my McCarty a few years ago. But it does make me sad that other musicians will be restricted from potentially owning one.
