dont you just love the ausie $$, it sucks that everything is more than it should be,, blame the little weasle in charge. if he ever gets his head out of bushs ass
unlucky australians actually.... chances are it'll be far cheaper to import including shipping, the guitars are here simply as temptation we either can't have or that will decimate our wallets lol
landed cost on a j custom here in oz is about $3650 AUD ($2900 for the guitar + $150 for shipping + 10% gst +5% customs +$90 brokers fees
RRP on the J custom is $4495AUD so a street price of under $4000. I dont know about you guys but a guitar I can hold in my hands and send back for warranty is worth an extra couple of hundred bucks to me... especially when i am forking out that sort of money..
Guess how much the RG1527 lists for here in Aussie? $1455 USD!!!!!!!!!!! When you sods in America get it for $1100 USD !
I just ordered my RG1527 in royal blue and luckily i managed to get $291 USD off to make it $1161 USD. Hey any of you guys in Australia want really cheap stuff check out Pro Audio in Canberra, the discounts are insane. Hey Ki swordsman! its good to see some more people for tassie.

lol i don't know where the hell you got those prices from but i just checked ishibashi prices on current Jcustoms and the most expensive one- 200,000Yen works out to $2301AU, then add your shipping and 15% import (you don't need to use a customs broker)
would save a hell of a lot to import and i'm sure you could shop around for better prices anyway..
to clarify- that could work out to around $2800AU total. far sight short of $3650 let alone under $4000
saving of $1200? hell yeah i'd import on a quality controlled electric like that
heya shredder! i've never seen another tassie dude on jemsite except ppl i know are you from Hobart?

but it sux donkey ballz and is freakin cold so Sydney and Japan for me [/QUOTE]
.....mmmmm - big fan of Tassie I see.........
Very pretty place though - when I was last in Tasmania, you couldn't even get an espresso coffee - it all came out of cans - big shock for a caffiene addict! - I guess the local music scene might be a wee bit quiet?
well there's a bit of a music scene actually, but crap music shopping.
there's a lot of new coffee places around- like that hudsons chain
tassie is good if you want to get away from it all, but right now i'm all up for cities, beaches, shops and hot weather, i've been to sydney once a year atleast for pretty much my whole life and would rather just stay there at the moment til i'm living in japan anyway. tasvegas would be ok if not for the weather
we drove nearly round most of it , boy there was lots of dead things about the roads over there. hey the guitar shops are on par with Albany W.A to be honest. thats why i deal with Perth
They have a DNA so i would assume they'd have some other ibanez goodies!
