custom charges????

[futuregun]

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?

[sambo]

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.

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 !!!!!!!!!!!

: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?

[futuregun]

: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)
