well men, here ive been hit by serious GAS!!!!im gonna buy a jackson slsmg !!!! after seeing window lickers in the post your rig thread ive decided.ive got two good jacksons but theyre not exactly what i want so im gonna sell em an get a soloist.
i set on it.
but i can get one for about £5oo from the us.and 630 here in the uk.right does anyone know anything about custom charges?where i can find out how much they'd charge on a 500 pound import?
please i need some help.
thinks!!!
-
They stopped making them as far as I know, but to be honest, for the same price...

When ordering stuff from the states i allow an extra 25% in charges on top, its normally closer to 20% but it never hurts to be prepared for the worst.
So on £500 it will probably be another £100 + of charges.
At that kind of price any saving you make will be quite small so its probably not worth the risk of having a guitar shipped from the US
-
ha unfortunate that you mention it now- i just sold my upgraded one for £500
had locking tuners + locking bridge + official jackson hardcase e.t.c.
oh and if its £500 in the US and £630 here you might even end making a loss by importing from the US...
shipping will probably come to at least £60... the customs on top of that will almost definitely take it over £630...
i would think so.... anyone clarify that?
-
oh and noodle- thing is the SLSMG's don't have trems.... so its a different guitar entirely to the ESP
-
hahah damn thats a kick in the nuts.
ive phone customs, basically if i buy any of the slsmgs from the usa ill be payin for a 450 guitar roughly 600 quid. so thats out th window.
i have those other two good jacksons but ive been after one of thoseslsmg's since i got my 1st guitar...it was a cheaper sub for one. :cry:
does any one know of one being sold?
thanlks for th advice as always lads
oh an sambo.....damn you!!!! i demand you get it back and sell it to MMMEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!! :wink:
-
:lol: :D
interesting though actually, cause the one posted in that thread that you mention, was some special edition or something... right?
i've never seen one of them before- mine was the satin finish one... but the gloss with the body binding does look very cool.
whic one are you after? is there a major price difference?
-
:lol: :D
which one are you after? is there a major price difference?
well its just ths actual shape i LOVE so the finish is debatable.the head in particular!!plus im not a floyd fan though both mine have em,i do like th satin black though.theres a red one on ebay ive got my eye on though red wouldnt be my first choice.i love transparent finishes hence my hatred :roll: of W'licker lol.
i dont think theres much price difference, just between jap an us models as always.

We should have a stickie topic that explains custom charges and VAT because it comes up a lot on this forum. - maybe I should mention it to Ben (Twilight Odyssey)

i'd have thought so yeah. at any rate all you'd be saving would be liable to be so little as to be not worthwhile.
thomann might be worth a look, though.

defo a good idea because i know im not th first to mention it as we're all sufferersof GAS so it would be a handy reference guide though i think 20% is a accurate enough mark up when considering th rough price of am imported axe or whatnot.
