I just discovered that nearly all HB guitars went up 10€ in price.. I mean 159 instead of 149 is still awesome for that quality (compared to what you sometimes get for more money from chinese factories), but it's sad though... Plus I've seen they changed some things about some HB guitars.. eg. the RX-40 is not sold with Floyd Rose style Trem anymore, the GT-90 is back in stock but with "no name" P90s instead of the Wilkinsons.. I'm afraid quality might also suffer Can't talk about basses etc., because I didn't know their old prices.. PS: Here in Germany it's +10€ on nearly all guitars, don't know how this affects other countries prices..

5 days ago my guitar (TE-52) was at 120 euros. I bought it before 2-3 months 129 euros. So maybe have up and downs. EDIT. Now its back at 129 euros

The prices also depend on what countries version of the web page you are looking at.
So the price will be different if you check the German page, UK page, Spanish page etc.
Shipping costs also change.

I know, but I've checked the german page and some prices went up, definitely. I also read in another HB group that they sometimes lower the prices again (maybe 5bucks).. The prices also depend on what countries version of the web page you are looking at. So the price will be different if you check the German page, UK page, Spanish page etc. Shipping costs also change. That's why I said I don't know how this is in other countries! --- all here on the german website --- e.g. the TE-20 I bought still is 69€, as in march 2014 when I bought it.. The hollowbody-Tele is now 179 instead of 159€ that it was YESTERDAY EVENING.. well.. we'll see would have been more of a shock/problem if they all of a sudden sold at Gibson-price-range

Unfortunately it seems that this is the case for all countries. They are still cheap, but let's hope they don't make a habit of this!

Here in Denmark got up 20 Euro approx on almost all products but the Danish Crown has gone down a bit so that must be the reason or what ever.

Yes, I think all European currencies are a low at the moment.

i know this thread was created in February. but the RX-40 is back with a floyd and man...what a floyd. Its a Floyd rose special Made in korea. if you want buy one of those alone it will cost you 80 Euros. As far as the prices...i think Thomann orders at different builders. So the prices can raise but they can also fall again according to where they ordered. Im not 100% sure about this though.

Thomann did actually answer an email from kodiakblair regarding prices. They raised the prices due to the weakness of the Euro.
However, everything else keeps rising also! Especially items imported from the US.
