The thought has crossed my mind. The guy works at a guitar shop in London, so I think he knows how to pack a guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houndhome Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I did contemplate this one (easier since I live in England) but keep reminding myself that I'm trying to thin out the nearly 70 in the house already.11 went in 2022 but nearly as many arrived !! Looks like a really good buy for you Brent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houndhome Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Denmark Street is generally regarded as a very expensive place to buy secondhand (I've been around the shops there a couple of times to have a good laugh at the prices relative to condition,and have never bought from there yet ) but your buy looks to be good value,at least here.How you will be hit by taxes UK to US I dont know.When I bought my H150 Ultra from the US the price in the shop in dollars was about what it cost in UK pounds by the time it got to my doorstep,and I suspect the deal would be a little worse today.No complaints,the shop price for a nearly mint H150 Ultra was $1425. I dont remember the price on your new guitar,but I do remember it seemed to be good or I wouldnt have considered buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houndhome Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 With regard to taxation,from US to UK you have to pay 3.7 % (if I remember correctly,about that anyway)purchase tax on electric guitars AND the shipping cost.On top of that you have to pay 20% value added tax on the guitar,shipping and the purchase tax that you have already paid. On top of that you have to pay the British postal service a loan charge since they have paid all the previous taxation charges to get the guitar through UK customs and delivered to the UK address.I have bought 2 guitars from the US and 3 from Japan (same charges) so the charges are something to be seriously considered as part of the cost when buying.
