[font=trebuchet ms]Axl_Rose makes his money by buying USA Gibsons and re-selling them in the UK.

I've bought several guitars from the USA, but that's simply because they have 10 times the population of Canada, so there is often a better selection. There's no savings to be made by buying in the USA and importing to Canada. The prices are about the same, but shipping fees add a lot to the total cost even before the Customs Duty is added. I prefer to buy in Canada, but if a particlar axe that I want happens to be in the States, then I'll buy from there.[/font]
