Is it cheaper for me to buy a prod model in the US and have it shipped?

$999 in the US. £999 in the UK ($1624). Although they end up being £899 ($1462).

I am definately going to order the one hum red rosewood. Any shops in the US fancy selling me one so that I can get it all in with shipping, tax and duty for less that $1462?

Man, the duty on that is going to be high. I don't think you'd be able to get it cheaper from US. But if you can do the number crunching, I'd like to see.

Shipping and import taxes will add approx 25% onto the price you pay in the US. Assuming of course you don't try to cheat the system which isn't advisable. Generally, I only had high end stuff sent from the US as the difference was worth it then.

So figure $1250 or so. So you'd save about 200 bucks which is about what, 120 quid at the moment?

Jacksonwolf (Steve) works at a guitar store in the UK and he might be able to hook you up though...
