US Government to implement Guitar Tax!

[Myles]

That's right it this story covered here. It states that Check 21 will now apply an additional 20% tax on guitars and guitar products as of October 28th this coming year.

Frankly, I am stunned and thankful I live in Canada. This is just unreal.

huh?...i just went to that page....read it several times....did a search for guitar and then a search for tax and i come up with nothing. Check 21 became effective on October 28, 2004.

Either you are joking or i am missing something here.
