Revelation Guitars: Cheapo JM guitars

[coldbrightsunlight]

You will have shipping and import duties though! I know that can wind up to be a lot the other way round having bought a guitar from the USA last year..

[fcknoise]

Shipping and import duties suck but from U.K. To Norway you'll be fine. At least until next year haha

[UglyCasanova]

Norway is not part of EU. We have to pay 25% in import taxes no matter which country we order from.

[coldbrightsunlight]

Yeah it's bs, I was surprised by that once!

If we go by what Theresa said the other day we might be headed the same way...

Norway is not part of EU. We have to pay 25% in import taxes no matter which country we order from.

At least VAT is deducted so we dont have to pay twice. As far as i know no stores in USA does this. I also have no idea about how taxes and such work on instruments in Trump-land.

[UglyCasanova]

Yes. It should be deducted, but some shops don't know that.

[lokmund]

If we buy from tgt11.com they remove the vat, or MUMS, automatically.

OT: Sent Hot Rox Cox an email yesterday morning, still no reply 40h later.

Oh wow really? it's 25% from norway to sweden?

I had no idea. That's insane and dumb. Meet you guys at the border. You can hand me loads of pladask gear, I'll get all that sweet thomann.de household gear and UK deals for you.

No export tax, only import. /

There's also those. I had a friend who had one years ago and it was pretty solid and sounded decent. Shame they discontinued most of the more interesting colors, though.

[ThurberMingus]

The magic of the JM comes from the pickups and tremolo IMO. I would suggest a Squier over these pups.


That 12 string tho.....

[lokmund]

Still no reply from Hot Rox. Kinda shitty if you ask me. The Squier alternative is still over $100 more so it would be interesting to see if this brand could be a good bang4bux alternative.

Dem Hot Cox tho. Get yer customer service fixx'd.

DAT XII FOR 265 EUROS. WHY DID THEY PUT A MOFOING STRAT VIBRATO ON THERE?

[coldbrightsunlight]

Yeah, the one thing I don't like about the 12

[Disarm D'arcy]

Feels good to make others gassy!

Also have you considered a career in the fast food industry?

Seriously though, pondering the 12 right now. Always comes back to the same scenario. WHAT IF SQUIER RELEASES A VM XII? I'll immediately regret buying something slightly cheaper AND with a strat trem in there. FUCK ME. FIGURATIVELY.
