production model uk availability.

I'm gonna be completely honest with you. If I really want something that bad, I'll order from USA. Even after import duty and VAT, it's still cheaper too. It's a question of whether you're prepared to wait 3 weeks... and buy a fucking case with it. Couriors are asshats.

[Snoogans]

So... at today's exchange rate that works out to $1501.

I've just had a confirmation on the UK retail price............£849.99
Quite a bit more than I was originally quoted unfortunately.

there you have it from the man himself...

MM, glad to see you hit the grand slam with this one man.

[Bionic]

and they more than likely will not be getting the custom colors....

dont be suprised if you get only black for the first couple of runs....

but thats just the rumor I heard at NAMM... not a definate thing.. but definately not getting the first colors, as not all US dealers got the first set of Custom colors

Gents, the UK will get the Custom Colors.

Might have to start looking for work in the US. Somewhere with nice weather.

True that!

We always get the scrag ends and get dry humped on prices too.

£550 for a US Charvel was always going to be too good to be true.

No problem, any more info, I'll post up here. Don't worry, I'm pushing as hard as I can to get these guitars in!!

That`ll do for me at least they havnt forgot about us Brits.

Cheers Steve.

Latest update.......... According to our rep, they have been allocated a batch of guitars in the limited edition colours for the UK market. We will just have to wait and see but fingers crossed!..........Delivery for early December but it may be brought forward with a bit of luck.

Cheers

they arent making the first color runs anymore, so I will be EXTREMELY shocked.

US dealers couldnt even order any more of them...

[JACKSONWOLF]

As far as I have been told, Fender UK have the colours on order. Surely, if none are available, they should know about it. I will however, make some more enquiries as I'm seeing my Charvel rep on tuesday.
I'll keep you all posted on the response that I get.

Cheers
Steve

I ordered that guitar the split second they were announced. It`s just not fair I tell ya!!!

Same here (ordered the candy apple red one) but I'm not surprised - Charvel have always been a bit 'different' when it comes to their business model, guess that's what makes them desirable - been on the lookout for a US Charvel here in the UK for 20 years and still not managed to bag one yet.

If you're really desparate, there are still US dealers with stock who will ship to the UK, I'm gonna wait and see what turns up....I've just got back into playing my Model 4, sounds sweeet thru my Engl, so that's keep me happy for a while.

[Jacksonite]

well the dealer should not have let you order them, as I was told that they werent going to be available outside the states for a while... but thats not the dealers fault, its the distributor...

I meant not a bad thing as in for Charvel... you obviously got hosed....

[JediHalen]

Not a bad thing!!!

Once you have ordered something in good faith, they should keep their word. It`s not like I just waited and ordered one yesterday. That I can understand.
