Re: question to the european residents

I payed USD 99 in shipping when I ordered my KE2 from the US to Norway, I guess it'll be the same to Germany. You have to pay custom for both the selling price and the shipping cost

Re: question to the european residents

micha, if you want to buy a guitar you have to take the price+shipping and add approx. 20% for taxes and customs (in Germany). But believe me, this is way cheaper that buying a Jackson guitar in Germany. Don't forget that the $$$ - € exchange rates are pretty good right now [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: question to the european residents

yep, I can take almoust 10% off the prices coz of the exchange thingy...

but 20% was worse than I thought. do I get free plecs or strings from germany or what?!? noooope!!
those bastards!!

well, anyway... when I buy in the US I save around 600 bucks at least. still way cheaper.
german guitar stores do something wrong I guess...


but thanks for the info!
