I believe that the tax on tobacco products accounts for 80% of the overall cost in the UK. When I was in the US I think I remember buying 20 cigarettes for about $5 - and here in the UK, it would cost twice as much, hence the $5 for 10 comment....

I don't know what % of the cost in the US is tax though. From where I stand, it's just great that everything in America is half price for me!

Back to guitars - you'd pay the equivolent of $3500 or maybe more for a PRS custom if you purchased it in the UK :eek: .... and ouch!
