Think last time I told about a sale from Warmoth here some people bought somethings...
So. they're giving 10% discont from 24th to 28th November on any item on Showcase. Also there is a 20% off any custom options for Showcase items like nut installs, stainless steel frets and finishes...
Again, it's only avaiable on online orders.
So bad my credit card is already full-filled :cry:
-
I had noticed..... :lol:
-
Surely you must be on their board by now Philly? A major shareholder such as yourself.
-
You'd think so, wouldn't you? I certainly hold enough of their "stock"....
-
I'm actually surprised they haven't pushed their prices up due to a stock shortage :lol:
-
:lol:
-
I've been considering putting together a Warmoth guitar over the next few months so this lightened my mood. However what with it being so close to christmas I may pass on the deal till just after the new year. :(
-
Damn Phill, they just added some strat hardtail bodies... that is NOT fair!

Ack! Just when I thought there wasn't anything much I wanted! :o
Thanks Fernando! :lol:
-
Sorry, I just needed to share my misery :lol:
-
I could use another strat.
Or a tele.
-
I've been sniffing round the Warmoth site on and off for years. Thing is it ain't exactly cheap in the first place and when you dial in shipping and duties well...... 10% off loads a money is still loads a money.
-
Yeah, it's not cheap - but then if you look at the eBay shops selling genuine Fender necks and bodies etc, they're a lot more expensive than Warmoth.
-
Oh blimey....

:lol:
There's not a massive amount left, to be honest.
Well, that's not true. But not much I definitely want to sell. Maybe two or three bodies and one or two necks.

Guitar parts, right? :o

Yeah, the grave robbing business has dried up since the good ol' days with Burke and Hare.
I don't know where medical students are getting their specimens nowadays. :?

:lol:
Did you manage to pass thru without buying anything, Philly?
-

Nope.... :oops:
-
LOL
Impressive weakness :D
-
:lol:
I wasn't really trying to resist.
Just leaving it until the last minute so I'd feel forced to do something impulsively stupid.
-
:lol: What did you get??
I'm more completely out of money than manage to not buy something :lol:
-
Let's just say it wasn't anything our friend Roo would like....
Silly purchases, to be honest. I'll have to sell some other stuff to make up for it.
-
....and the philly sale continues :D
-
Mine shipped today :)
-
Mine haven't yet. There'll be a big Customs charge when they turn up....
-
How much do UK customs charge (%) if you get Warmoth shipped to the UK?
-
Typically 3% + VAT, plus a "handling charge" of between £7 and £17 from the courier/ Royal Mail .
-
And you guys are arguing about that "big" charge... I'm going to kill someone :evil:

The VAT is 20%, Fernando, so total import charges are close to 25% of the original price.
What would it cost you in Brazil?

I worked with a fellow from Uruguay. He said import taxes were at least half of the declared value and more if the person collecting was an extra dirty and corrupt SOB. He claimed it was less expensive to have a custom made vs a Mexi Jazz Bass. Is it a similar situation in Brazil?

What would it cost you in Brazil?
[(price + shipping cost x 60%) + (price + shipping cost x 18%)]
[(500+80 x 60%) + (500 + 80 x 18%)] = [348 x 62] = 410
60% is the importation tax and 18% is the tax for manufactured goods...
-
Bloody hell! That's outrageous! :o
(You haven't killed anyone though, have you? :wink: )
-
Nah :lol: Don't think I would enjoy the time at prison :P
And yes, I feel like the most miserable SOB everytime I pay tax here... Basically because we are one of the most expensive taxs in the world end what we get back from government is pretty nothing...
-

It must suck to pay a lot of tax and getting little to nothing in return. Luckily I think I get a lot in return for my tax money (I didn't mean to ruin your day, Fernando :))

This may be a silly question but hey, I actually don't have a clue.
Say your total from Warmoth comes to $900. Obviously on top of that is delivery. Do you pay customs tax on the price of the items with the delivery charge included or not?
-
Confusingly, I believe you only pay import duty on the actual item, but you pay VAT on the total.
-

So I take it you'll pay 20% of the Total inc. P&P. And then just a small amount for the Import Duty?
-
Last time I did it I think it works out like this.
You pay import duty on the total cost of the guitar + postage + insurance, which is then converted to GBP. I think electric guitar duty is about 4%, which is then added on. and then you pay VAT @ 20% on top of all that.
On top of that the courier will probably also charge a fee for handling it.
Others may have done this more recently as I stopped doing it when the exchange rates became less favourable.

It's hard to figure out exactly, because you don't know what exchange rates they're using.
Also, if something comes by normal post I don't think they charge VAT on the delivery charge, but if it comes by courier they do include the delivery charge. Warmoth use UPS, so you're paying VAT on the total cost including delivery.
I usually just estimate that I'm going to have to pay roughly 23-24% of the total cost, including the delivery charge. If it turns out less, it's a pleasant surprise.
-
Philly, why did you choose UPS?? Are you in that much of a hurry to shove it under your bed? ;) :lol:

Isn't that the standard option? I thought the other option, whatever it was, was even more expensive...?
I'm pretty sure I always pick the cheaper shipping option, but the parts always arrive by UPS. I've got to know the UPS delivery bloke quite well! :lol:
-
Mine said USPS 2-3 weeks
-
Oh, then maybe I did choose the more expensive option because I didn't want my stuff knocking around in the hold of a ship for a few weeks with a load of rats and scurvy seadogs. Or something.
I'll check it more carefully next time!

This thread needs no comment from me...

Just in the process of finishing my Warmoth Strat (first build) typical there is a sale now lol. Had a few Strats in my time but never got on with the fingerboard Radius completely, so a build was logical.
Spec:
Irish Tour set (cream covers & controls)
Parchment Scratchplate
Alder Body (sealed with Tru Oil)
Maple Neck (sealed with Tru Oil)
Pau Ferro Fingerboard with compound radius & 6100 frets.
Wilkinson Trem, Black TUSQ nut and Sperzels.
When its done will post some pics

You must show us pictures!
I've been tempted to try a Tru-Oil finish but I'm worried I'll make a complete hash of it.
-
Tru Oil is really easy to apply mate. I done it to my Strat neck and a Warmoth I had. It really brought out the grain in the wood.
-
I just have this fear that it'll go all streaky/patchy and look horrible!
-
if it does you rub it all back with 0000 liberon wire wool and apply some more. do this after every few coats anyway for the best feeling tru-oil finishes.
generally when playing with tru-oil i think i have made a mess, it rubs back nicely and feels great - even if its rubbed back so much that you think none is left on it... it still feels great
i think my approach is different to others. i dont try and use tru-oil as a lacquer substitute. sure its possible, but if i want lacquer i will use that
-
I'll give it a go sometime!
