No...

£10000 = $10000

Maybe not in exchange rate - but its still how the cookie crumbles.

We pay double on everything. (Except BKPs)


I know, you have importation tax... but it's not as higher as 100% ;)
And I said that because the guy tought in US$, but the money spoked, is US$20k around...

You don't get what I'm saying.

We LITERALLY pay the same in pounds as the Americans do in the Dollars.

I wouldn't mind this:


Isn't that the EDGE 3 trem?

Nope. It's a ZR Trem.

I aquired these lovely items today, so i think my GAS is cured for a day or two :)

Fender Custom Shop Classic Player Strat with Irish Tour Set and Serzel locking tuners, bought mainly for Sue, but it's too nice not to play myself.








And a new amp set up to go with it:







And to avoid an ASBO:



My bank balance hurts now, but I'm GAS free  :twisted:

I understood you!
But I don't cry so much... I live in Brazil and pay doubled to everything... even Marshall, Vox, Orange, etc... (an Marshall here is about US$6000/£3000, the simple ones)
and, if you get the payment here, it's 4 times :P

:roll:  I understood correctly what you guys have spoken... Your taxes make things go doubled priced.. Hey, I'm not TO stupid, just a little...

and I said that because I thought Mr Dakine was American, and they have some problems to understand things in another way of think...

There is a lizzard the other side too :)

My lounge has an Orange feel now, I hope orange is 'in' this year.

The amp sounds AMAZING and I've not even started to figure out all it can do.

NOPE

UK Citizen living legally in US.  :twisted:

Am not too sure wether TO will like being called stoopid either ROFLMAO.

And, UK tax DOES NOT account for the outrageous price differential, it's just THEFT by distributers as we are an island and therefore get F$%*(D alot  :evil:

And as for Americans having problems understanding things? Well, mostly it's mexican Spanish over here these days but their English aint too bad per se  :lol:

My local music shop, Fret Music, I always get a good price and they delivered it for me too. Which is just as well as the head and the cab weigh more than I do.
