SUGGESTED retail. Looks like they are looking to sell to music stores ?

Why the tuning pegs if it's got a speedloader?????? Didn't KK & Glen prefer Kahlers as well?????

P.S. Speedloader=yuck!!!!!

i dont like the guitar but its the right way to do it.

Lot more reasonable than a $10,000 invisible guitar

I've been saying it all along. Strategic pricing is based on the highest price the consumer is willing to pay and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept. Supply and demand.

I don't know why Vinnie seems to think his fan base is high income. He should take an online poll. If he tells people its purpose is marketing, his fans will be more than willing to provide information. It should be anonymous, though. It will give him a) an idea of how many potential customers he has, and b) their income. Two very important pieces of info on pricing. If I were him, I'd try to bring down the variable costs, too. If you can decrease the price, you can increase the quantity demanded.

vinnie doesn't have much fan base period.. he never really did have but you are correct kma

Vinnie can reduce costs instantly by reducing his ridiculous "cut" of each guitar.

Hi wanting a crazy amount per guitar sold has assured that none have sold and this he's gotten nothing. Just like with Zoom Club records and Ed Roman.

He doesn't assume his fan base is wealthy, he holds anything associated with him as the "ultimate", which he prices accordingly. Witness the $1000 guitar pick. It's an illness.
