Right. San Dimas time...

[sonicsamurai]

ok so its my 21st birthday in june...apparently mum wants it to be big...like my whole family all digging in, and i may also put a couple of hundred in as well to top up...

so...

for a twin hum, floyd, red bullseye i'm looking at $2679, $2869 if i go for red ghost flames

but...

how long to deliver? i don't know if the waiting time is different for the standard models (compared with say your own custom designed jobby. also how much is delivery to the uk on average? i assume i may have to pay a lot in customs charges...

also - star or strat? i can't decide

Re: Right. San Dimas time...

As a Charvel Main Dealer in the UK, I have been quoted by our rep that delivery times are 6-12 months......custom shops around 18 months (I've got a Custom Shop Black Bullseye on order for myself.....only 15 to go!!). There are however, some Charvel San Dimas guitars in stock at the suppliers (Fender UK) which can be delivered in around 5-10 days.

Re: Right. San Dimas time...

If you want a custom guitar, you won't get it in time for your birthday I'm afraid to say (unless you meant June 2007, and even then.....!).

If you want a guitar made from the std specs with a std graphic (i.e. not a custom-order), then as Steve says I've been quoted 6-12 months.

Shipping from the US on a strat-size guitar seems to generally run $150 - $200. Don't forget import taxes though (figure another 25% on top of the price you pay)

Re: Right. San Dimas time...

My custom order was quoted with an estimated delivery time of 7 months. But the quote also sais, it's only an estimate. In the end, building took 12 months, and shipping additional 2 months.

Re: Right. San Dimas time...

That rising sun is cool. Who ever ordered it knows their audience as the it does not have the custom shop logo.
