Where to buy a Jackson if shipping to Iceland?

[HoddiDarko]

My friend wants to buy a Jackson SLSMG and was wondering where to buy it from? What websites give the best deals and ships to Iceland.
How much might it cost to ship it, and do you think they will accept Icelandic credit cards? I heard some people had problem with that in 2008 when the crisis was in all time high or something, I don't know much about that now...
I think he would prefer a new one instead of a used one of ebay.
Iceland is btw not in the European Union if that matters.

Now I'm curious, Hoddi: is there a big Jackson scene in Iceland? Or, are you & your friend "IT" ?

The Netherlands and the UK would like a word with your banks, so ordering with a credit card would probably not be a good idea

Hard to say, there are a lot of Jackson guitars around, pop up once in a while on the local forums but there is not much importing from the authorized dealer. He got a shipment few weeks ago and there was 1 nice Dinky and just a bunch of old JS types. I know a few guitarists who have a few Jacksons in their collection but I think my collection of 4-5 ones is one of the largest.
But I think allot of the were imported during the 90's since we had a pretty legendary old school death metal scene back then. So I see old Std professional, Fusion's and stuff like that once in a while on some forums which have been in the closet since 1995 when our scene started dying.

Yeah... That's why I guess ordering from the US instead of the UK would be a better choice... Or would Canada be a better choice?

No answers?

i would have thought you would be ok with the UK - all that stuff is to do with dodgy bankers isn't it? maybe take a trip over or have a weekend checking them out?

I do that once in a while since my sister lives in London, but it's not me who's buying. It's my pal. And I think he just want's a Slsmg.
It is btw really expensive for Icelanders to go to England right now, the quid is quite high...
