In the long run, this "short term pain" will seem like short term pain but for the next 18 months or so, it's going to be painful, not only because of the price but because of availability. The availability issue is screwing up everything, at least where I live. |

I swapped pickups on six of my guitars in the past few months and the guys at Duncan were and are still working 6 days a week. I was fortunate enough to have a relationship with Seymour and the other guys so I was able to get my parts a lot more quickly than a dealer but I still had to wait for weeks on a few items. And don't even get me started on the price of lumber. We're about to do an expansion of our home and a sheet of plywood is $90 dollars or more. My A/V guy was out last month to do some work here and he lost his home in the fires last Fall. He said that his insurance is barely covering the cost to rebuild his home because lumber is sky high. Not only that but the appliances he wants are 9 months backordered. And people were worried about toilet paper... |

Expect the cost of anything Aluminum to go up. Here's an excerpt from an email i received the other day from Wheel Pros (You may know them as American Racing).

Consider yourself lucky. That happens about once in 5 orders for me. Most everything takes several days just to leave the warehouse anymore. Walmart is a better deal. Heck if one of my local stores has it in stock, they'll deliver it in a half hour.

My reproduction sheetmetal supplier told me the other day that, while the cost to produce their sheetmetal parts hasn't gone up significantly, the cost to ship them overseas has.
Most aftermarket metal body panels are produced in Taiwan. According to my guys, the cost to ship on a cargo container overseas has gone up 800%.

Heh. I Just re-read that American Racing email. They mentioned the issue with overseas containers too.

They're telling me this stuff because they're effectively warning me about an incoming price increase. I've received several of these types of emails from several different manufactures. All saying the same kinda shit essentially.

You mean stockpiling TP isn't enough. Now I have to fill my garage with spare lumber and extra appliances?

Watched this obscure British horror movie called donkey punch. Pretty gruesome but enjoyable movie.

Yeah it was like watching an episode of Captain Stabbin where everything went wrong.
