I started a thread about this on the Jackson Charvel forum when I got my custom Kelly: not so much price increases, just the massive disparity between US and UK prices - for instance, an American Jackson (which let's not forget is owned by Fender) retails for £2k or more here, whereas in the States (at the time) they were less than $1000.

We get a raw deal on prices for everything here...
Same in France, the import cie make their margin. A store in France buys items to the importer at a price close to the street retail price in US.
Last time I've been in US I came back with a brand new Strat for a price of a second hand one in France.
