Court: U.S. District Court
Location: California
Hagens Berman filed a class-action lawsuit against Guitar Center and the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) claiming the two conspired to fix retail pricing on fretted instruments.
Fretted instruments include banjos, acoustic and electric guitars, violins and more. The fret refers to the raised portion on the neck of the stringed instrument. On most modern instruments, frets are simply metal strips inserted into the neck to help expand music range and capability.
The suit claims NAMM organized meetings and programs where competing retailers, including Guitar Center, were encouraged to discuss and agree to strategies for price fixing along with other anti-competitive agreements with manufacturers.
The suit seeks to represent anyone who purchased a fretted musical instrument from Guitar Center between Jan. 1, 2005 and Dec. 31, 2007. If you purchased an instrument, you can participate in this lawsuit.
