I was curious to know how much the average Amercian citizen get paid an hour? Because I read posts on harmony-central how cheap the guitar was etc. Prices of guitars Sydney is basically twice the price of American standard prices. I assume the price is set by adding the actual price of guitar and shipping and GST argh! :mad:

Down here in Australia an average teenager working would get between $10-$18 roughly depending on how good the job is. After considering the tax (in Oz we get hammered by taxes) and nesessities, the kid has work he's butt off to get a one hell of a guitar.

Are American guitarist well off in that sense that guitars are cheaper? Or is it the same senario in US?
