personally, i have no money [having recently bought a Gibson].... I'm tempted to be jealous.

I also live in the UK which would mean shipping [extra say $50]..........

What i was raving about earlier is guitar prices,really.. I mean ....On the Internet and UK shops up to 150 mi away the cheapest i can find a MIM Std Tele, is £255/$365..and that's from Germany!!... with the same price postage that a UK store would charge. The lowest for the same guitar from a UK retailer is approx £300.

Ok, Scandanavia has far worse prices(...especially for beer..), but Fender and Gibson have been making the same models for 50 years (a lot longer than MOST of us have been alive:)) they have recouped most of their tooling and production costs (apart from calculable overheads) and seem to more than make up for it in their rrps.


I'll stop raving *tablet* .

That melodica must take some skill to play - sound pretty good from what i can find.


Accuracy,you say? hmm interesting concept..
