Yup

That was in '21, they've significantly increased their prices since then. Epiphones have moved into the space that Gibson used to occupy…

I volunteered it on return mainly because I wasn't sure if I'd get flagged or not. I ended up with the $90 GST refund but also peace of…

You'd have a heart-attack at ours - pre-solar we were running at around $800-$1,000 a month! Way too many electronics / pumps / heaters /…
